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
