How we made this West Indies vs New Zealand 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.

WI vs NZ toss prediction FAQ

Who won the WI vs NZ toss?

New Zealand won the WI vs NZ toss and chose to field first.

What did the toss winner choose in WI vs NZ?

New Zealand 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 NZ match odds?

Meaningfully. Providence Stadium favours batting first (chases succeed only 46% of the time here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 2 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.
