• • Rainfall Chance: 0% during the day and a negligible 5% late at night.

  • Sky Conditions: Sunny during the afternoon, transitioning to clear skies with periodic clouds in the evening.

  • Wind Speed: A gentle breeze from the southeast at 5–7 mph is expected, which will not significantly impact the flight of the ball.

The Dew Factor at Chinnaswamy

With clear skies and temperatures dropping toward the 23°C mark, the formation of dew is highly likely during the second innings. Ground staff have reportedly been using anti-dew sprays to mitigate the impact, but captains will still factor this into their decision at the toss.

A slippery ball typically makes it difficult for spinners to maintain their grip and for pacers to execute yorkers at the death. Given the short boundaries at this venue, any advantage provided by dew could make a chase of even 200+ runs feel manageable.
