What is Duckworth-Lewis method?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The Duckworth-Lewis method was created by statistician Frank Duckworth and former cricketer Tony Lewis. It adjusts cricket scores when rain interrupts play.<\/li>\n
  2. The method uses a chart that factors in the remaining deliveries and wickets to calculate a fair score target.<\/li>\n
  3. It was introduced after an unfair game outcome in the 1992 Cricket World Cup semi-final where South Africa lost due to an inadequate rain rule.<\/li>\n
  4. This method was officially adopted by the International Cricket Council in 1999. Since its adoption, it has been essential for 50-over cricket, though less effective in T20 formats.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How Duckworth-Lewis method work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. The Duckworth-Lewis method combines the remaining deliveries and wickets to create a “resource percentage.”<\/li>\n
    2. A chart, known as the DL chart, helps calculate this percentage for any match situation.<\/li>\n
    3. The chart starts with ‘100%’ when all overs and wickets are available, decreasing as resources diminish.<\/li>\n
    4. When play resumes after an interruption, the method adjusts the target score based on the resources left.<\/li>\n
    5. The method allows for fairer game conclusions under disrupted conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
