R Ashwin proposed a solution to counter the potential impact of dew on the 2023 ODI World Cup held in India

Ashwin suggests something that can really eliminate the possibility of an unfair advantage for the team chasing a target.

The 2023 ODI World Cup, set to take place in India in October and November, presents a unique challenge due to the potential impact of dew on the matches. Dew can greatly affect a game’s outcome, as seen in the 2021 T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. Teams batting second had an advantage due to the difficulty bowlers faced gripping the ball in the second innings.

To avoid a similar problem in the upcoming World Cup in India, Indian cricketer R Ashwin has come forward with an intelligent suggestion to counter the dew factor. Ashwin suggests that the day and night games should start at 11:30 am in order to eliminate the possibility of any sort of undue advantage for the team chasing a target.

“The best way you can solve the issue is by starting the games at 11:30 am in the 2023 ODI World Cup,” Ashwin said. This way, by starting the match early, the dew factor would not be present, and both teams would have an equal chance to win the match.

Ashwin’s suggestion is a logical and practical solution that could potentially level the playing field and ensure fair competition at the 2023 ODI World Cup. It is important that the organizers take this suggestion into consideration and make the necessary arrangements to ensure that the tournament is played in the most favorable possible conditions.
