Hey!! what is the actual formula behind the duckworth lewis method in cricket?? ?

Question

(its so confusing but i know its got sumtin to do wid wickets lost !!)

Answer 1

To be honest, I think you have to either be Frank Duckworth or Tony Lewis to know...

20 overs have to have been bowled before it can be used, this happened at Edgbaston in a recent ODI between England and New Zealand. It started raining in the 19th/20th (I can't remember) over, and the match was abandoned, to much controversy.

I think the more wickets you lose, the more runs you require. It takes into account the amount of wickets lost and the number of overs.  

Answer 2

In short, India now need 216 from 44 overs to win this last ODI, interrupted by rain!

Answer 5

The essence of the D/L method is 'rEsOuRcEs'. Each team is taken to have two 'resources' to use to make as many runs as possible: the number of overs they have to receive; and the number of wickets they have in hand. At any point in any innings, a team's ability to score more runs depends on the combination of these two resources. Looking at historical scores, there is a very close correspondence between the availability of these resources and a team's final score, a correspondence which D/L exploits.

Using a published table which gives the percentage of these combined resources remaining for any number of overs (or, more accurately, balls) left and wickets lost, the target score can be adjusted up or down to reflect the loss of resources to one or both teams when a match is shortened one or more times. This percentage is then used to calculate a target (sometimes called a 'par score') that is usually a fractional number of runs. If the second team passes the target then the second team is taken to have won the match; if the match ends when the second team has exactly met (but not passed) the target (rounded down to the next integer) then the match is taken to be a tie.
