Our calculation from hourly Open-Meteo ERA5 reanalysis data for the 15 days around the fixture date (±7 days) in each of five winters, 2021-22 to 2025-26 (75 days per window). "Dew-risk evenings" = share of evenings where the 10 pm air temperature was within 4°C of the dew point. Reanalysis describes the surrounding area (~25–30 km grid), not the outfield: an indicator, not a forecast. Open-Meteo
Fantasy angle (our general view)
- India vs Zimbabwe, 3rd ODI (14:00 IST start, sunset ≈ 18:16 IST): the second innings is played almost entirely after sunset. Weak dew signal (23% 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.
