Description

"The Duckworth–Lewis method is a mathematical formulation designedto calculate the target score for the team batting second in alimited overs cricket match interrupted by weather or othercircumstances. It is generally accepted to be the most accuratemethod of setting a target score. The basic principle is that eachteam in a limited-overs match has two resources available withwhich to score runs: wickets remaining, and overs to play. Whereovers are lost, setting an adjusted target for the team battingsecond is not as simple as reducing the run target proportionallyto the loss in overs, because a team with ten wickets in hand and25 overs to bat can be expected to play more aggressively than ifthey had ten wickets and a full 50 overs, for example, and canconsequently achieve a higher run rate. The Duckworth–Lewis methodis an attempt to set a statistically fair target for the secondteams innings, based on the score achieved by the first team,taking their wickets lost and overs played into account.The D/Lmethod is not in direct proportion to the number of overs availableto be faced, as with the average run rate method of correction.Instead they depend on how many overs are to go and how manywickets are down when the interruptions occur.
