Meanwhile, a new chemical ‘Dew Cure’ imported from the United States will be used before the India vs Zimbabwe Super-8 match at the Chennai stadium. This chemical will help control the moisture in the field.

Things may get difficult for India as the temperature in Chennai has increased over the last one week. Dew is expected to play a big role in this very important match. The use of ‘dew cure’ is mainly intended to reduce the effect of dew, as it can cause problems for bowlers in catching and fielding the ball in night matches.

Today, Thursday the situation may be different. The TNCA imported ‘Due Cure’ from the US, which is widely used in Major League Baseball venues, while refurbishing the Chipok wickets ahead of the T20 World Cup.

As part of preparations for the India vs Zimbabwe match, the chemical was mixed with water and sprayed on the outfield on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to reduce the effect of dew. As per the plan, it will be used again on Thursday afternoon as well, so that its effect can be seen when the match starts.

The toss of the match is scheduled at 6:30 PM. The first ball will be played half an hour later, ie from 7 pm. Dew Cure Spray ensures that no moisture accumulates on the grass leaves! Wet grass will absorb it quickly. As a result, the grass leaves will become dry.

Dew Cure may also be used in the semi-finals and finals of T20 World Cup 2026, but there is no official announcement yet. It is heard that BCCI is in 2026 IPL– May make the use of these chemicals mandatory in all venues.
