What is duckworth-Lewis method in cricket?. How they calculate the runs in twenty 20 ???

Answer 1

This system was introduced to cope with the situation arose due to disturnbance in game whether rain, bad light, or any other things. They compare the score of teams with the fall of wickets . E.g if match stopped at 9.1 over and taem has scored 89 for two. then they will check the score of other team and if they have 90 for three , the other team will be declared winner.

Answer 2

In the sport of cricket, the Duckworth-Lewis method (D/L method) is a mathematical way to calculate the target score for the team batting second in a one-day cricket or Twenty-20 cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstance. It is generally accepted to be a fair and accurate method of setting a target score, but as it attempts to predict what would have happened had the game come to its natural conclusion, it generates some controversy.

simple example of the D/L method being applied was the first One Day International (ODI) between India and Pakistan in their 2006 ODI series. India batted first, and were all out in the 49th over for 328. Pakistan, batting second, were 7 wickets down for 311 when bad light stopped play after the 47th over.

In this example, Pakistan's target had the match continued was 18 runs in as many balls, with three wickets in hand. Considering the overall scoring rate throughout the match, this is a target most teams would be favored to achieve. And indeed, application of the D/L method resulted in a target score of 304 at the end of the 47th over, with the officially listed result as "Pakistan won by 7 runs (D/L Method)

Answer 3

The DL method in cricket is used to announce winner when certain type of climate effects the match. In this method they use to take the scores of both the teams in same overs.

Like- if a team has scored 50 in 5 overs and another team has scored 60 in 5 overs the team scoring 60 will be the winner

Also i think there is no much difference in this method for T-20 or 50-50. only one difference is that in T-20 there is minimum 8 Over rule. This mean atleast second side batting must have faced 8 overs so that D&L method can be applied.

Answer 5

It is very strange rule.

Answer 6

It is the system of confusing the h**l out of every cricket enthusiast.  The team at the receiving end gets mad and the other jumps for joy.

I am quite sure they don't actually calculate anything.  I think a four year old is asked what could be a good number and that is announced as the "target".

Should there be a second revision required, I am sure they ask Harrel Dair or someone exact, fair and studious like that.

The second possiblility is that a random number generation software (which must have been incidentally developed by a budding weatherman) on the 3rd ump's laptop tells him the target score.

And while this is being relayed to the on-ground umps on those incredible walkie-talkies, the numbers are jumbled up due to the driving rain and howling wind.

So what all this means is that ...  it's anyone's guess, I guess !

The same principles may apply, as the system makes assumptions upon the values of wickets and runs scored by the team already batting.  The second team then has to equal or better that value according to the calculations.
