ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is spraying a chemical imported from Dubai to minimize the impact of dew during the Lahore-leg of the Pakistan Super League Twenty20 cricket series, media reported.
The evening dew has troubled many events globally and forced teams to opt to field first on placid wickets. The excess moisture on the ground during the evening makes it extremely difficult during matches for the spinners to grip the ball and makes batting much easier as the ball skids on to the bat.
“The spray has already made a noticeable difference as it has been used by the PCB since the Lahore-leg in the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022,” popular cricket website Cricket Pakistan reported.
According to the website, the spray is used three hours prior to the game to control the dew factor.
“A specific amount of the spray is mixed with 100 liters of water and then sprinkled on the outfield which absorbs a large chunk of the dew,” Cricket Pakistan reported.
