I'm a little surprised that they haven't brought the start time forward, it's a glorious day and far brighter than it's likely to be at 9pm tonight.
presumably once they have set a time it is hard to change it in terms of communicating with players to get them to shift their preparations , eating, warm up, travel by that hour or half hour. i guess the start of play tends to stay as published the day before as a general rule...
looking at the fact some of the womens players are yet to play, we are looking at a friday finish here for the womens side anyway, it seems unlikely they are going to ask the players that havent started yet to play 2 matches tomorrow/

Yes, but they knew the forecast last night. They could have put it on the schedule then.
It's true you sometimes get dew on the grass.
But I'm with emmsie - get going asap, set the kick off time for 10 (based on the forecast) and then delay it for 30 mins or whatever if you have to.
