🏟️ 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 South Africa vs West Indies 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.
