According to the Duckworth Lewis chart, in this situation second batting team is left with Now suppose from this moment onwards the match is abandoned. Now there is difference in the resources available to the both team. Now the winner of the match will be decided on the basis of equal distribution of resources to both team.
Since the second team got the lesser resources as compared to first team so the target for the second team must be reduced. Since the first team scored runs so the target for the second team will be x So as per the rules the second team needs to score runs to win the match but is has already scored runs.
We hope that from the above discussion you must got clear idea that how that Duckworth-Lewis method is applied in the rain affected match. Are you worried or stressed? Click here for Expert Advice. Comment 0. This match clearly highlighted the need for a better method for calculating revised targets in one-day matches.
Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis, two statisticians in England, together invented a method for fairly calculating revised targets and it has been the official method used in one-day international matches since It is based around the fact that batting sides have two types of resources with which to score their runs - wickets and overs - and that their potential for run scoring depends on both these resources.
They define a function P u,w that denotes the average proportion of runs yet to be scored by a side in an innings with u overs left to be bowled and w wickets lost. Extensive research and statistical methods led to the creation of this function, which cannot be disclosed due to commercial confidentiality.
However, Table 1 is an excerpt of the table containing P u,w values for a few select values of u and w. Click here for the full fifty over Duckworth-Lewis table. The statistics in the table implicitly show the tactics and the way the game is played. Every over bowled and each wicket lost results in a loss of resources for the batting team.
Every time there is an interruption that causes overs to be lost, the batting side unfairly loses resources. Fairly or unfairly, how much resource they have lost depends on the stage of the innings and the number of wickets lost. Stating this formally, if rain interrupts play with a team w wickets down with u 1 overs remaining and play resumes with u 2 overs remaining, then they have lost P u 1 ,w - P u 2 ,w of their resources and whether they are batting first or second, the Duckworth-Lewis method needs to reset their score if batting first or their target if batting second to reflect this loss of resources.
We can easily calculate the proportion of resources team 2 has at its disposal after a rain delay. The new target for team 2 will be set so that the ratio of team 2's target to team 1's score is the same as the ratio of team 2's resources available to team 1's resources available.
That is,. Note that the revised target is always rounded down and this is the target for a tie. To win the match, the team batting second needs to score at least one more run than the target. For example, suppose a team is 5 wickets down with 20 overs remaining when rain causes 10 overs to be lost. In other words, assuming there are no more rain interruptions, this team only has When rain interrupts and overs are lost from the innings of the team batting second it always disadvantages them and hence their target is reduced as we just described.
When rain interrupts the innings of team 1, in which case match officials try arrange the loss of overs so that each team's innings is reduced by the same amount, it sometimes disadvantages the team batting first and sometimes disadvantages the team batting second. The Duckworth Lewis Method was first used in a match played between Zimbabwe versus England in This method was approved by the ICC in On the name of these two guys, this method is popular as the Duckworth Lewis method.
The attraction towards cricket keeps increasing among the peoples as it is widely played in almost every country. Cricket is also recognized as the most popular sport in the world after football and Rugby World cups. The cricket has been played as two sessions where in the first session a team used to bat in pairs against the bowling team and follows vice versa in the second session. The enjoyment of the game affects when the rain interrupts the match. When play can resume there are only 20 overs left but there are still, of course, 2 wickets down, and the table now tells us that the resource percentage remaining is Thus the shortening of the innings has caused the team to lose a resource percentage of The procedure for setting a revised target, which is the same for any number of stoppages at any stage of the match, is as follows.
For each team's innings a from the table note the resource percentage the team had available at the start of their innings; b using the table, calculate the resource percentage lost by each interruption; c hence calculate the resource percentage available.
If Team 2 have less resources available than Team 1, then calculate the ratio of the resources available to the two teams. Team 2's revised target is obtained by scaling down Team 1's score by this ratio. If Team 2 have more resources available than Team 1, then calculate the amount by which Team 2's resource percentage exceeds Team 1's.
Work out this excess as a percentage of [the average 50 over score in ECB matches and one-day internationals ODIs ] and this gives the extra runs to add on to Team 1's score to give Team 2's target. Worked examples. Example 1: Premature curtailment of Team 2's innings Team 1 have scored runs from their 50 available overs and Team 2 lose 5 wickets in scoring runs in 40 overs. Play is then stopped by the weather, the rain refuses to relent and the match is abandoned.
A decision on the winner is required. Team 2 had less resource available than Team 1 so their target must be scaled down by the ratio of resources, With runs on the board, they have exceeded their required target by Note : The above result is quite fair as Team 2 were clearly in a strong position when play was stopped and would very likely have gone on to win the match if it hadn't rained.
