The Impact of Dew

While rain is not a concern, the"dew factor remains the most significant environmental variable for the final. As the temperature falls towards a minimum of 20°C overnight, moisture is expected to settle on the outfield during the second innings.

Ground staff at Kotambi have been active throughout the tournament managing the dew, but captains Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues will likely consider the advantage of chasing. A damp ball can make it difficult for spinners to find grip and for pacers to execute accurate yorkers in the closing stages of the game.
