🏟️ What the toss means at Narendra Modi Stadium

Toss impact: Neutral chasing and defending win almost equally here (50% chase win rate)

At Narendra Modi Stadium the toss is close to a non-event — the numbers barely move whichever way the coin lands. Back your read on the cricket, not the coin.

How we made this New Zealand vs India toss prediction

We do not predict who wins the coin flip itself; that is genuinely 50/50. We predict what the toss winner will choose to do. For this match, our pre-toss call was made in the article body before the toss happened. The result above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

For the full methodology — venue toss patterns, dew, and captaincy psychology — see the field-first scoring method.
