✗ Decision missed
Our predicted decision
field first
From the article: "Toss: Bowl first. Evening dew makes the ball skid and neutralizes spin grip, giving chasers a significant advantage. Teams batting second have won approximately 65-70% of T20s at this ground, and captains winning the toss have overwhelmingly elected to field."

How we made this SL vs ZIM 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 receipt above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.
