ODI World Cup Toss Today is one of the most decisive events in a cricket match, more so in limited-overs cricket.

It would not be wrong to say that the ODI World Cup Toss Today can alter the course of the match, and perhaps, no other sport is as dependent on ODI World Cup Toss Result Today.

In cricket, the two competing teams take turns to bat and field. The winner of the ODI World Cup Toss Today gets to choose whether to bat or field.

In a coin toss, the two captains of the participating teams meet in the middle of the ground in the presence of an announcer and the match referee along with an occasional mascot. The captain of the host team usually flips the coin, and his opposite number gets to call either heads or tails.

After the coin is tossed and comes to rest on the ground, the side facing up is called the result of the coin. If the result matches the call made by the visiting captain, then he/she wins the toss and gets to decide whether to bat or to bowl first.

Why is the ODI World Cup Toss Result Today so important?

The toss assumes greater significance in Asia. This is because a majority of the matches are day-nighters, and dew proceeds to play a decisive role.

Excessive dew not only neutralizes the impact of spinners but also troubles the fast bowlers in controlling the ball. Also, the ball tends to skid on the surface, which makes shot-making very easy.

That said, in the past couple of years, chasing in India has proved to be quite tricky as the white kookaburra ball tends to swing a lot during the first 15 overs. However, as the dew starts to set in, it becomes easier to bat.

So, the captains will have a tricky decision to make this time around if the dew is substantial. What do they do? Bat first, bat big, and try to kill the game with the swinging ball under lights? Or do they back their batting unit to survive the initial phase during a run-chase, and cash in after the dew arrives?

Also, in case of a rain-affected game, the toss assumes even more importance. In such a scenario, teams usually opt to field first, not only to exploit the early moisture but to also give themselves the best possible chance to win the game in case the DLS comes into the picture. This is because, in the case of a curtailed game, having all 10 wickets in hands and knowing the exact equation, always helps the team to be more positive.
