The Duckworth Lewis rule or the DL rule is a technique used to decide the winner of a cricket match that could not be completed fully due to a variety of reasons. This rule takes into consideration the target, the current score of the 2nd batting team, the number of wickets lost, the number of runs remaining (to be made) and then comes up with a calculation to decide the prospective winner of a match.

There has been a lot of criticism about this DL rule and many people feel this is not fool proof. One main requirement for this rule is that, both teams must have played atleast 20 overs each

What is duck worth Lewis method?

The duckworth Lewis rule or the DL rule is a rule that is used to predict the winner of a cricket match in cases where the match cannot be played till a winner is decided. The rule can be applied when some even stops play when the 2nd batting team is playing. Based on the runs to be scored, runs already scored, wickets in hand etc the DL rule comes up with the result predicting if the second batting could have won if the match had proceeded. An important consideration here is that - this rule can be applied only after both teams have played a minimum of 20 overs each.
