Pitch & dew
- India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I (19:00 IST start, sunset ≈ 18:08 IST): the whole match is under lights. Weak dew signal (3% of sample evenings). Dry evening air makes the toss less decisive than at humid venues. Spinners in both innings stay in play, and the pitch report matters more than dew.
