How we made this Scotland vs Nepal 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.

SCO vs NEP toss prediction FAQ

Who won the SCO vs NEP toss?

Nepal won the SCO vs NEP toss and chose to field first.

What did the toss winner choose in SCO vs NEP?

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

How does the toss affect the SCO vs NEP match odds?

Meaningfully. Wankhede Stadium favours chasing (teams batting second win 54% here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 4 percentage points depending on which side ends up chasing — with evening dew adding to the chase advantage under lights. A pre-toss match price averages both branches, so the toss result itself can create or kill value on the match market.
