Opened · Settles

Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market refers to the cricket match between Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast scheduled for May 29 2026 in T20 World Cup, Sub Regional Africa, Qualifier A. This market resolves according to the finalized match result as published by https://www.espncricinfo.com/. DLS/DRS, over-rate penalties, forfeit/walkover, or any other on-field ruling that leads the competition to declare a winner are treated as ordinary wins. If the match ends tied and the playing conditions provide an on-field tiebreak (e.g., Super Over), the winner determined by that tiebreak will be used for resolution.

PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

Market context

Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast will contest a T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier match on 29 May 2026, with the winner advancing through the qualification pathway. The current order book on Polymarket reflects a 50% implied probability for Sierra Leone, suggesting the market perceives this as a genuine toss-up between two African nations competing for World Cup qualification spots.

Cricket participation across West Africa remains sparse, with both nations operating at developmental levels within the ICC's associate membership structure. Historical qualifier matches at this tier typically feature significant variance in outcomes, as team preparation, squad availability, and recent competitive exposure vary considerably. Ivory Coast has shown incremental progress in recent ICC development tournaments, whilst Sierra Leone's participation in regional competitions has been intermittent. The 50-50 split on Polymarket likely reflects limited historical data on direct matchups and uncertainty around final squad composition for both sides.

Traders should monitor ICC announcements regarding final squad selections, scheduled for late May, as injuries or unavailability could materially shift competitive balance. Venue confirmation and weather forecasts closer to the match date will also matter, particularly given T20's sensitivity to pitch conditions. Recent form in other regional qualifiers or warm-up matches, should they be published on ESPNcricinfo, could prompt order book repricing. The settlement window closing on 5 June allows sufficient time for official result publication, though traders should verify squad news through the ICC's official channels as the match date approaches.

How to trade this market step by step

The mechanics for trading "T20 World Cup, Sub Regional Africa, Qualifier A: Sierra Leone vs Ivory Coast" are the same as any other PolyGram sporting event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.

Key terms

Slippage
The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
