    Groundsmen at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai sprayed an anti-dew chemical called APSA-80 onto the field three hours before the 2011 Cricket World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka. The chemical, commonly used in farming, was aimed at reducing the effect of dew which often makes batting easier in the evening during day-night matches in the subcontinent by dampening the pitch. The ICC had previously used this chemical spray at another Mumbai stadium during a 2006 Champions Trophy match to lessen the impact of dew.

    MUMBAI: Groundsmen at the Wankhede stadium here were seen spraying a chemical to reduce the effect
    of dew during the day-night cricket World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka Saturday.Two persons
    went around the park with sprayers to sprinkle the chemical APSA-80, commonly used in farming, three
    hours before the scheduled start of the game.
    On sub-continental wickets, excessive dew in the evening often tilts the balance towards the team
    batting second in day-nighters. The dew freshens up the track and makes it difficult for the bowlers to
    grip the ball as it gets damp on the moist outfield.
    The International Cricket Council (ICC) had used the chemical spray to reduce the impact of dew at
    Brabourne Stadium here during the 2006 Champions Trophy match between Pakistan and New Zealand.
