field first
From the article: "Teams prefer to field first (60% toss preference)."

🪙 The toss market

The toss is priced as what it is — a coin. Both sides trade at effectively even money (1.92–1.95): a 50/50 event with margin on top, no value by construction. The bettable question is what follows — bat or bowl first, and how each branch reprices the match at this ground.

🏟️ What the toss means at Molyneux Park, Alexandra

Toss impact: HIGH chase-friendly ground — teams batting second win 60% here
  • ▸ If Otago end up chasing: our model moves them to 48.0% — fair odds 2.08 (CD 1.92)
  • ▸ If Otago bat first: 36.0% — fair odds 2.78 (CD 1.56)

A pre-toss match price averages both branches. On a ground like this, the toss itself creates — or kills — match-market value the moment it lands. Evening dew tilts it further toward the chasing side under lights.
