Flip a coin for the cricket pre-match toss. Settle who bats or bowls first in your club, school, or friendly garden cricket match.
Before a match, captains may use a toss to decide which side chooses whether to bat or field first. Conditions and the format can affect that choice; this page provides a quick digital alternative for informal games.
The tool uses browser randomness to choose between Bat and Bowl. It is not an official match procedure or a substitute for the captains' toss.
The toss gives the winning captain a choice that may matter differently across formats and playing conditions.
Under MCC Law 13.4, the captains toss for the choice of innings on the field in the presence of one or both umpires. The toss must happen no earlier than 30 minutes and no later than 15 minutes before the scheduled start. The winner then chooses whether to bat or field.
Captains may consider the pitch, weather, and match format when deciding whether to bat or field. These conditions do not guarantee how the match will play.
In multi-day cricket, pitch conditions may change over time. In limited-overs matches, teams may also weigh the target and the possibility of dew. Their effect varies by ground and match; no toss choice guarantees an advantage.
