How we made this West Indies vs Italy 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.

WI vs ITA toss prediction FAQ

Who won the WI vs ITA toss?

Italy won the WI vs ITA toss and chose to field first.

What did the toss winner choose in WI vs ITA?

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

How does the toss affect the WI vs ITA match odds?

Meaningfully. Eden Gardens favours chasing (teams batting second win 59% here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 6 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.
