PredictPedia tracks a Polymarket event titled "T20 Series Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka: Afghanistan vs Sri Lanka - Most Sixes" [1]. The contract concerns which team hits more sixes in the cricket match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka scheduled for 2026-03-17 within that T20 series [1]. The rules describe three outcomes: Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and Draw. The Afghanistan outcome is correct if Afghanistan is officially recorded as hitting more sixes than Sri Lanka, and the Sri Lanka outcome is correct on the reverse condition. If both teams record the same number of sixes, the market resolves to Draw [1]. The rules define what counts. Only sixes scored from the bat count, whether off a legal or illegal delivery. Overthrows and extras do not count, and sixes scored in a super over are excluded. In First Class games, only first innings sixes count [1]. The market is designed to resolve on official sixes statistics, so the recorded numbers matter more than the match narrative. The rules also address disruption. The market resolves according to the team with more sixes even if the match is not completed, for example because of weather [1]. If the match is permanently canceled, abandoned, or completed without official sixes statistics being recorded, the market resolves to Draw [1]. If the match is postponed or rescheduled, the market remains open until the listed fixture is completed and official statistics are available [1]. The provider lists an end time of 2026-03-24T10:30:00.000Z [1]. This is the listed end time in the contract terms, not a report that any event occurred on that date. The saved event includes three markets: a Draw market, an Afghanistan Winner market, and a Sri Lanka Winner market [1]. Their titles use winner wording, while the resolution rules describe the comparison of sixes totals, so the rules text is the authoritative description of how the contract settles [1]. At the observed snapshot, the Draw market showed a Yes price of 0.499 and a No price of 0.501, the Afghanistan Winner market showed Yes at 0.4985 and No at 0.5015, and the Sri Lanka Winner market showed Yes at 0.496 and No at 0.504 [1]. These are observed prices at one moment, not executable quotes or measured probabilities. Trading volume is also not a measure of liquidity or of how many people traded. All three saved markets for this event are included in the sample, and the sample is not marked as partial [1]. That does not establish that the provider lists every possible outcome for the match.
