Dew is a major issue in day/night cricket in some climates. The team bowling second has a severe disadvantage. The ball progressively becomes softer and pickups up moisture from the outfield. As a result, it becomes soggy. At the same time, the fielder’s hands also remain constantly wet due sweat and handling the ball. It therefore becomes difficult to throw or bowl, which is critical for the competitive sport.
Anti-dew for cricket is a re-thinking of how the ball is handled by the players. It can reduce the moisture pickup by up to 80% and level the playing field.
