At the innings break
At the innings break: Biratnagar Kings 73%, Karnali Yaks 27%. Biratnagar Kings were ahead.
Biratnagar Kings' chance of winning started at 47%, was 73% at the innings break, rose to 100% 6.5 overs into the chase, fell to 18% 18.3 overs into the chase. Karnali Yaks won by 4 wickets.
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.
