If it is a flat pitch you can't expect much from the bowling side and dew also only benefitabke for wrist spinners so I don't think India got any benefit on this,if they knows tgat dew will be a factor the chasing will be the better chance of winning.
Kinda funny, In cricketing World, Every team knows about dew factor and dew always comes in the second inning. Always
Just no one is so sure that, at what time dew effect will come in the play. Sometimes dew does its tricks after 15 overs and sometimes right after a couple of overs in the second inning. Its all started with when Day Night matches introduced in Cricket, approx 35-40 years ago.
After a decade or especially in the 90's everyone started noticing this, instead of hacking the problem everyone prefered to bat first in every day-night match.
But now some bowlers started Practicing with wet balls for the last 5-8 years. At least Delhi's Ranji team does that along with a couple of teams in Domestic level.
On Flat pitch comment, I completely agree but wanna add one thing here, On a flat pitch, Indian wrist spinners or as a matter of fact any Wrist spinner is very capable of taking wickets. That's why every team prefer Wrist spinner over any off spinners nowadays. can give examples if you want.
Indian wrist spinners did that many time but unfortunately this time they didn't get support from fielders. it's part of the game and I am sure Ravi Shastri already looking into it because World cup knocking the door and Indians can't afford this kind of sloppy fielding in big matches or any other teams also.
I am just wishing for another good match in Last "Series Decider" match. The best team should lift the trophy here.
