In an effort to counter the effects of dew, the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) has been spraying a special chemical on the outfield at the Holkar Stadium.
MPCA chief curator Samander Singh Chauhan said on Monday that to beat the effects of dew, a special chemical was being sprayed over the ground since the last three days. Besides, he said, the grass on the ground was also not being watered since the last three days to minimise the effects of dew.
“We sincerely hope the spectators will get to see fours and sixes raining in the match,” he said.
Since the game will commence at 7pm, dew could be a factor in deciding the outcome, especially in the second half of the match.
