How we made this Sri Lanka vs India 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.

For the full methodology — venue toss patterns, dew, and captaincy psychology — see our toss prediction model.

SL vs IND toss prediction FAQ

Who won the SL vs IND toss?

India won the SL vs IND toss and chose to bat first.

What did the toss winner choose in SL vs IND?

India chose to bat first. Our pre-toss call was bat first — the captain did what we predicted.

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

Meaningfully. Sinhalese Sports Club Ground favours batting first (chases succeed only 38.5% of the time here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 5 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.
