How Dew Affects Cricket Matches

Dew forms when evening humidity rises, often reaching around 85% in Bengaluru, with temperatures dropping close to the dew point. This leads to a wet ball and outfield, making it difficult for bowlers to control their deliveries and for fielders to manage the ball. Teams batting second often gain an advantage as the wet conditions favour batting.
