IND vs AUS: Outfield being sprayed in Ahmedabad to negate dew factor in CWC 2023 final

IND vs AUS final is all set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad
We are just one hour away from catching the live action of the final clash of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India will take on Australia in the finals, and it is expected to be a thrilling contest between the two top sides of the competition. India have beaten all their opponents, including Australia, so far, while Australia have won eight consecutive games.
This game will decide whether India will win their third title or whether Australia will end up winning their sixth one. The pitch is expected to be on the slower side, which will assist spinners, and the toss will play a crucial role in the match. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first and score runs to put pressure on the opposition. As seen so far, the ball also tends to swing and seam under the lights.
Special chemical sprayed on the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium to negate dew factor
The pitch will be the same that was used in the game between India and Pakistan on November 14. As seen in that game, the bowlers were gripping and the spinners were getting a bit of a turn from the surface. But one thing that can come into play in the second innings will be the dew factor. If there is dew in the second innings then it will be hard to grip the ball for the bowlers.

That will make the batting easy for the team batting second. As accessed by Khel Now from the venue, the ground staff were seen spraying a special chemical, as seen on some occasions, to negate the dew factor in the evening. In the game between India and Pakistan, there was a lot of dew in the second innings when India were batting, which made it challenging for the bowlers.
Well, with the chemical sprayed on the outfield, it will negate the dew. It is going to be a blockbuster clash, with both teams having some big names on their sides. This could also be the last World Cup game for some players. But the stakes are high, and everyone is excited for this game. There will be a packed house at the stadium.
