From our match preview

Bowl first. The surface deteriorates as the match progresses, making batting harder in the first innings. Dew assists the chasing side by reducing grip for spinners. Both captains are likely to field first if they win the toss

🏟️ What the toss means at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium

How we made this Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 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.

PAK vs SL toss prediction FAQ

Who won the PAK vs SL toss?

Sri Lanka won the PAK vs SL toss and chose to field first.

What did the toss winner choose in PAK vs SL?

Sri Lanka chose to field first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain did what we predicted.

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

Meaningfully. Pallekele International Cricket Stadium favours batting first (chases succeed only 46% of the time here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 2 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.
