US-Imported 'Dew Cure' Chemical Used at Chepauk for India-Zimbabwe T20 World Cup Match

Groundstaff at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium have been applying a US-imported chemical called 'Dew Cure' to the cricket field to reduce dew during India's crucial T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 match against Zimbabwe. The chemical, diluted with water, absorbs moisture and dries grass leaves, potentially influencing match outcomes. The Indian team has tested it and found it effective. The BCCI is considering making Dew Cure mandatory for future night matches, including the IPL, pending official confirmation.
