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.

SRH vs CSK toss prediction FAQ

Who won the SRH vs CSK toss?

What did the toss winner choose in SRH vs CSK?

Chennai Super Kings chose to field first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain did what we predicted.

How does the toss affect the SRH vs CSK match odds?

Meaningfully. Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium favours chasing (teams batting second win 57% here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 5 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.
