Winning margin across 5,000 simulations of this fixture. Bars right of the centre are Chile wins; the faded bars at each end hold everything beyond 75 points.

Margin percentiles

Eight runs in ten finished between 47 England and level, with the middle run at 18 England.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 33 and 77 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 30-12 on a tight afternoon and 42-24 on an open one.
