In the sport of cricket , the Duckworth-Lewis method ( D/L method ) is a mathematical formulation designed to calculatethe target score for the team batting second in a one-day cricket or Twenty20 cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstance.
Cricket scores are calculated using a math formula called the Duckworth-Lewis method. Rather than a straight scoring method, cricket scores rely on this formula to determine the target score. It has many critics.
The Duckworth Luis D L method usually resets the targets in the rain affected one day cricket matches that were trialled.
Any sort of condition in the weather, be it snow, rain, wind, sleet, tornado watches or warnings, hurricane watches or warnings, flooding, etc etc... you get the picture.
The Duckworth–Lewis method is a statistical formulation which calculates the target score for the team batting second in a limited overs cricket match interrupted by weather.The method is based on the premise that any team has two resources: the number of wickets remaining and the number of overs to be played. However, when some overs are lost, setting an appropriate target is not as simple as reducing the number of runs required in proportion to the proportionate loss of overs. This is because a team with ten wickets in hand and 25 overs to bat can be expected to play more aggressively than if they had ten wickets and a full 50 overs. The Duckworth–Lewis method is an attempt to set a statistically fair target for the second team's innings, based on the score achieved by the first team, taking their wickets lost and overs played into account.The exact calculations are complicated by differences in which team lost overs, and so forth.
