Resolution criteria

The market will resolve based on the official scorecards and outcomes of the 1st Test Match between Australia and New Zealand, scheduled to take place at Perth Stadium from December 9 to December 13, 2026. The official source of truth will be the match scorecard on ESPNcricinfo or the official Cricket Australia website.

If the 1st Test match does not begin by December 31, 2026, all options in this market will resolve as N/A.

Each individual outcome will resolve as follows:

• Australia wins the 1st Test: Resolves to YES if Australia officially wins the match. Resolves to NO if New Zealand wins, or if the match ends in a draw or tie.

• The 1st Test ends in a draw: Resolves to YES if the match is officially declared a draw. Resolves to NO otherwise.

• The 1st Test ends in a tie: Resolves to YES if the match ends in an official tie (i.e., both teams have completed their innings and scores are level). Resolves to NO otherwise.

• Smith 100: Resolves to YES if Steve Smith scores 100 or more runs (a century) in either individual innings for Australia during the match. Resolves to NO if he plays but does not score a century, or if he is not in the playing XI for this match.

• Australia wins toss: Resolves to YES if Australia wins the official pre-match coin toss. Resolves to NO if New Zealand wins the toss.

• Australia bats first: Resolves to YES if Australia bats in the first innings of the match (regardless of whether they won the toss and elected to bat, or lost the toss and were sent in to bat). Resolves to NO if New Zealand bats first.

• Cummins 5fa: Resolves to YES if Pat Cummins takes 5 or more wickets in a single innings during this match. Resolves to NO if he plays but does not take a five-wicket haul, or if he is not in the playing XI for this match.

• Cummins is Captain: Resolves to YES if Pat Cummins is named as the captain of the Australian team on the official team sheet at the start of the match. Resolves to NO if anyone else captains the side.
