How DLS is Calculated?
To calculate a target, the formula may simply be expressed as:
Team 2’s par score = Team 1’s score x (Team 2’s resources/Team 1’s resources).
During the match after the interruption, there are only two factors remain with the team for the calculation of this method.
Every team available with these two resources namely:
- Remaining Overs
- Remaining Wickets
On the basis of these two resources, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis have prepared a chart which suggests that how many resources are left with the batting side in different situations.
Real-time Example of a DLS Method Calculation:
Let us take an example that happens earlier before in DLS history where India beats Australia by 26 runs. This happens in the first ODI of Australia tour of India in Septem
- In the 1st innings, India scored 7/281 in 50 overs.
- During the innings break, rain interrupts play, and the match is reduced to 21 overs.
