Toss affect on the match Result 

Toss too has affect on the match result. If the pitch is batting friendly. Then obviously team winning the toss love to bowl first and chase it down on a batting paradise pitch. It is easy to chase down total on a batting friendly pitch.

If the pitch is balanced one for both batters and bowlers, then toss has little impact on the match result.

Factors that are Exception to Pitch conditions 

Proper Discipline and Execution

Sometimes one team is more disciplined and execute their skills at highest level both in batting and bowling. Sometimes it is indelbile for one team to win the match to go further in the tournament. Sometimes one team is coming from losses, so they try to come back strongly with more discipline and execution. Sometimes some team player come with X-factor and win the game single handedly for his team in batting or bowling. 

Strong team vs Weak Team 

Very important factor in winning the match is team analysis of two teams.Pitch conditions are exception if the match is b/w a strong team and a weak team. Strong team is always favorite to win a cricket match. In current era, India and Australia are strong teams. Both teams have quality batters and bowlers. They are always favorite whatever the pitch condition is. Same  applies to T20 leagues teams in IPL, BBL, PSL etc. Strong teams batters and bowlers have the requisite skills to win the match in their team favor. So team analysis is very important to assess before the match to preditct which team can win the match. For my point of view, team analysis is more important than pitch conditions. In BBL matches also strong and favorite teams have upper hand in the match.
