It finds toss win rate is about 50-50, so winning toss alone is not enough, but the chosen decision matters: teams choosing to field win about 10% more often than those batting. Winners score faster with higher run rates (10.5 vs 8.9, about 18% faster) and lose fewer wickets (winners about 1.7 vs losers about 2.8, roughly 39% fewer). The analysis also compares chasing versus defending, noting chasing teams win 53%, supported by the fielding first advantage.
