At the innings break
At the innings break: Pokhara Avengers 46%, Janakpur Bolts 54%. Janakpur Bolts were ahead.
Pokhara Avengers' chance of winning started at 47%, fell to 29% 10.3 overs into the first innings, was 46% at the innings break, rose to 100% 19.4 overs into the chase. Pokhara Avengers won by 25 runs.
How it works: we compare the runs a side needs, or is on course for, with what T20 sides usually score from the balls and wickets they have left. It learned this from 5,585 men's T20 matches on Cricsheet.
We tested it on 76 NPL matches it had not learned from. The side it made favourite at the innings break won 50 of them. It knows the score, the balls and the wickets left, but nothing about the players, the pitch or the toss.
