Impact on Play & Pitch Conditions

The Dew Factor: Rising humidity after sunset could lead to a slippery ball that is harder for bowlers to grip, particularly spinners. Captains may prefer to bowl first after winning the toss, allowing their teams to chase later if dew becomes significant.

Physical Exhaustion: Playing in temperatures of 35°C or higher can place additional physical demands on players. Regular hydration and suitable breaks will be important during the hot afternoon conditions.
