About Duckworth-Lewis Method

The Duckworth-Lewis method (DLS) is a mathematical formula used to calculate revised target scores in rain-interrupted cricket matches. It ensures fair play by accounting for the resources (overs and wickets) available to each team.

How It Works:

Resource Calculation: Each team's resources are calculated based on overs and wickets remaining
Target Adjustment: The target is adjusted proportionally to the resources available
Fair Play: Ensures both teams have equal opportunity to win

Key Factors:

Overs Remaining

More overs = more resources = higher target

Wickets Lost

More wickets lost = fewer resources = lower target

Current Score

Higher current score = advantage to batting team

DLS Tables:

The method uses pre-calculated tables that assign resource percentages to different combinations of overs and wickets remaining. These tables are updated periodically based on analysis of international cricket data.
