Dew factor may come into play in Mohali ODI

The toss may be crucial in tomorrow's day-night third one-dayer at the PCA stadium here between India and Australia as the dew factor is likely come into play.
Days have been bright and sunny during the past few days at Mohali and Chandigarh and if the same weather conditions persist tomorrow as well, the dew is likely to be heavy.
"The dew was very heavy till yesterday. We are taking measures to minimise the dew, but we cannot eliminate it altogether. We will use a vetting agent and do cutting once more. We have stopped watering. During the match, for which we have already spoken to match officials, a rope will be used (to clear the dew) at the fall of every wicket in the second innings," PCA curator Daljit Singh said here.

Asked if dew could play spoilsport, he said, "It is heavy, let us see how it is tomorrow. If it is windy, then dew will be very less. If it is cloudy, then there will be no dew. But if it is a clear day, then dew will be heavy, that is the phenomenon."
PCA President I S Bindra and Secretary M P Pandove said the Association has taken every step to ensure that the effect of dew is minimised, besides fogging was being done to keep away the mosquitoes and other insects.
Daljit did not hazard a guess on what should be a good score on Mohali tracks, by saying, "It is not my business to comment on number of runs, I think it is the player who make the game, curators only do their job."

However, Bindra said that 280 may be on, but 360 looks unlikely here.
He also said that one can expect the ball to move here late in the afternoon.
Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a long chat with Daljit while coach Duncan Fletcher too had a keen look at the wicket.
