How we made this New Zealand vs Pakistan 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 toss call is published in our match prediction. We make every call with the weather, the pitch and the team news in mind, including who captains. The result above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

NZ vs PAK toss prediction FAQ

Who won the NZ vs PAK toss?

Pakistan won the NZ vs PAK toss and chose to bat first.

What did the toss winner choose in NZ vs PAK?

Pakistan chose to bat first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain went the other way.

How does the toss affect the NZ vs PAK match odds?

Meaningfully. R.Premadasa Stadium favours batting first (chases succeed only 48% of the time here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 1 percentage points depending on which side ends up chasing. A pre-toss match price averages both branches, so the toss result itself can create or kill value on the match market.
