96-467: The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method ( DLS ) is a mathematical formulation designed to calculate the target score (number of runs needed to win) for the team batting second in a limited overs cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstances. The method was devised by two English statisticians , Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis , and was formerly known as the Duckworth–Lewis method ( D/L ). It
192-440: A Super Over is played, wherein each team bats for a one-over innings with two wickets in hand. A tied Super Over may be followed by another Super Over. In almost all competitive one-day games, a restriction is placed on the number of overs that may be bowled by any one bowler. This is to prevent a side playing two top-class bowlers with extremely good stamina who can bowl throughout their opponents' innings. The usual limitation

Twenty20 , a curtailed form of one-day cricket with 20 overs (120 legal balls) per side, was first played in England in 2003. It has proven very popular, and several Twenty20 matches have been played between national teams. It makes several changes to
384-452: A List A. List A is a classification of the limited-overs (one-day) form of cricket, technically as the domestic level. Despite its name, important one-day matches, international and domestic, often have two days set aside, the second day being a "reserve" day to allow more chance of the game being completed if a result is not possible on the first day (for instance if play is prevented or interrupted by rain). In some tied limited-overs games,
480-408: A change of x percent in a quantity results in a final amount that is 100 + x percent of the original amount (equivalently, (1 + 0.01 x ) times the original amount). Percent changes applied sequentially do not add up in the usual way. For example, if the 10% increase in price considered earlier (on the $ 200 item, raising its price to $ 220) is followed by a 10% decrease in
576-427: A combined resources remaining percentage figure (with 50 overs and 10 wickets = 100%), and these are all stored in a published table or computer. The target score for the team batting second ('Team 2') can be adjusted up or down from the total the team batting first ('Team 1') achieved using these resource percentages, to reflect the loss of resources to one or both teams when a match is shortened one or more times. In
672-498: A computer must be used which has the software loaded. [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] These are just the different ways of having one interruption. With multiple interruptions possible, it may seem like finding the total resource percentage requires a different calculation for each different scenario. However, the formula is actually the same each time − it's just that different scenarios, with more or less interruptions and restarts, need to use more or less of
768-505: A delay at the start of an innings counts as the 1st interruption. Standard Edition G50 G50 is the average score expected from the team batting first in an uninterrupted 50 overs-per-innings match. This will vary with the level of competition and over time. The annual ICC Playing Handbook gives the values of G50 to be used each year when the D/L Standard Edition is applied: Duckworth and Lewis wrote: We accept that
864-449: A denominator of 100 became increasingly standard, such that from the late 15th century to the early 16th century, it became common for arithmetic texts to include such computations. Many of these texts applied these methods to profit and loss, interest rates, and the Rule of Three . By the 17th century, it was standard to quote interest rates in hundredths. The term "percent" is derived from
960-553: A flaw in how it handled very high first innings scores (350+) became apparent from the 1999 Cricket World Cup match in Bristol between India and Kenya. Tony Lewis noticed that there was an inherent weakness in the formula that would give a noticeable advantage to the side chasing a total in excess of 350. A correction was built into the formula and the software, but was not fully adopted until 2004. One-day matches were achieving significantly higher scores than in previous decades, affecting
1056-427: A full 50 overs, for example, and can consequently achieve a higher run rate . The DLS method is an attempt to set a statistically fair target for the second team's innings, which is the same difficulty as the original target. The basic principle is that each team in a limited-overs match has two resources available with which to score runs (overs to play and wickets remaining), and the target is adjusted proportionally to

#17327762181591152-527: A further reduction to 44, or a par score of 43, and hence Sri Lanka won the match by 14 runs. The DLS method was also used after the rain disruption in the 2023 Indian Premier League final , when Chennai Super Kings had scored 4/0 (0.3 overs) and the Gujarat Titans just scored 214/4 (20 overs). The target was reduced at 171 runs from 15 overs from earlier target of 215 runs from 20 overs for Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings won by 5 wickets by
1248-423: A given number of overs remaining (called u {\displaystyle u} ) and wickets lost (called w {\displaystyle w} ), takes the following exponential decay relationship: where the constant Z 0 {\displaystyle Z_{0}} is the asymptotic average total score in unlimited overs (under one-day rules), and b {\displaystyle b}
1344-429: A hundred') is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign (%), although the abbreviations pct. , pct , and sometimes pc are also used. A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number), primarily used for expressing proportions, but percent is nonetheless a unit of measurement in its orthography and usage. For example, 45% (read as "forty-five percent")
1440-492: A numeral, as in "5 percent" and not "five percent", the only exception being at the beginning of a sentence: "Ten percent of all writers love style guides." Decimals are also to be used instead of fractions, as in "3.5 percent of the gain" and not " 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 percent of the gain". However the titles of bonds issued by governments and other issuers use the fractional form, e.g. " 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 % Unsecured Loan Stock 2032 Series 2". (When interest rates are very low,
1536-826: A one-day, limited 50-over cricket tournament, was first played in the inaugural match of the All India Pooja Cricket Tournament in 1951 at Tripunithura in Kochi , Kerala . It is thought to be the brain child of KV Kelappan Thampuran , a former cricketer and the first Secretary of the Kerala Cricket Association. The first limited-overs tournament between first-class English teams was the Midlands Knock-Out Cup, which took place in May 1962. Played with 65-over innings,

1728-412: A party obtains 41% of the vote and this is said to be a 2.5% increase, does that mean the earlier result was 40% (since 41 = 40 × (1 + 2.5 / 100 ) ) or 38.5% (since 41 = 38.5 + 2.5 )? In financial markets, it is common to refer to an increase of one percentage point (e.g. from 3% per annum to 4% per annum) as an increase of "100 basis points". In most forms of English , percent
1824-557: A percentage of a percentage, convert both percentages to fractions of 100, or to decimals, and multiply them. For example, 50% of 40% is: It is not correct to divide by 100 and use the percent sign at the same time; it would literally imply division by 10,000. For example, 25% = 25 / 100 = 0.25 , not 25% / 100 , which actually is 25 ⁄ 100 / 100 = 0.0025 . A term such as 100 / 100 % would also be incorrect, since it would be read as 1 percent, even if
1920-410: A price of $ 2.50 is an increase by a fraction of 0.15 / 2.50 = 0.06. Expressed as a percentage, this is a 6% increase. While many percentage values are between 0 and 100, there is no mathematical restriction and percentages may take on other values. For example, it is common to refer to 111% or −35%, especially for percent changes and comparisons. In Ancient Rome , long before
2016-507: A result of the outcome of the semi-final in the 1992 World Cup between England and South Africa , where the Most Productive Overs method was used. When rain stopped play for 12 minutes, South Africa needed 22 runs from 13 balls, but when play resumed, the revised target left South Africa needing 21 runs from one ball, a reduction of only one run compared to a reduction of two overs, and a virtually impossible target given that

#17327762181592112-525: A revised target of 139. Perth won the game by 8 wickets with a boundary off the final ball. The published table that underpins the D/L method is regularly updated, using source data from more recent matches; this is done on 1 July annually. For 50-over matches decided by D/L, each team must face at least 20 overs for the result to be valid, and for Twenty20 games decided by D/L, each side must face at least five overs, unless one or both teams are bowled out and/or
2208-499: A second rain interval, England, who had scored some quick runs (knowing they needed to get ahead in D/L terms) would correspondingly have won if play had not resumed. Play was finally called off with just 7 balls of the match remaining and England's score equal to the Duckworth–Lewis 'par' score, therefore resulting in a tie. This example does show how crucial (and difficult) the decisions of the umpires can be, in assessing when rain
2304-561: Is 229, and the score to tie is 228. The actual resource values used in the Professional Edition are not publicly available, so a computer which has this software loaded must be used. If it is a 50-over match and Team 1 completed its innings uninterrupted, then they had 100% resource available to them, so the formula simplifies to: The original D/L model started by assuming that the number of runs that can still be scored (called Z {\displaystyle Z} ), for
2400-550: Is 872: Australia, batting first, scored 434 for four in 50 overs, and yet were beaten by South Africa who scored 438 for nine with a ball to spare during their One Day International at Johannesburg in 2006 . The highest individual innings is 272 by Narayan Jagadeesan for Tamil Nadu against Arunachal Pradesh in Bengaluru in 2022. The best bowling figures are eight for 10 by Shahbaz Nadeem for Jharkhand against Ranchi at Chennai in 2018. The highest international individual innings
2496-611: Is a classification of the limited-overs (one-day) form of the sport of cricket . Much as domestic first-class cricket is the level below international Test match cricket, so List A cricket is the domestic level of one-day cricket below One Day Internationals . Twenty20 matches do not qualify for the present. Most cricketing nations have some form of domestic List A competition. The number of overs in List A cricket ranges from forty to sixty overs per side. The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians created this category for
2592-584: Is a version of the sport of cricket in which a match is generally completed in one day. There are a number of formats, including List A cricket (8-hour games), Twenty20 cricket (3-hour games), and 100-ball cricket (2.5 hours). The name reflects the rule that in the match each team bowls a set maximum number of overs (sets of 6 legal balls ), usually between 20 and 50, although shorter and longer forms of limited overs cricket have been played. The concept contrasts with Test and first-class matches, which can take up to five days to complete. One-day cricket
2688-591: Is by Rohit Sharma who scored 264. The highest score in any formal limited overs match is believed to be United's 630 for five against Bay Area in a 45 overs match at Richmond, California in August 2006. The most runs in an over was scored by Herschelle Gibbs of the South African cricket team when, in the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies, he hit 6 sixes in one over bowled by Daan van Bunge of
2784-513: Is carried out and taught in different ways depending on the prerequisites and requirements. In this way, the usual formulas can be obtained with proportions, which saves them from having to remember them. In so-called mental arithmetic, the intermediary question is usually asked what 100% or 1% is (corresponds to). Example: 42 kg is 7%. How much is (corresponds to) 100%? Given are W (percentage) and p % (percentage). We are looking for G (basic value). Due to inconsistent usage, it
2880-544: Is equal to the fraction 45 / 100 , the ratio 45:55 (or 45:100 when comparing to the total rather than the other portion), or 0.45. Percentages are often used to express a proportionate part of a total. (Similarly, one can also express a number as a fraction of 1,000, using the term " per mille " or the symbol " ‰ ".) If 50% of the total number of students in the class are male, that means that 50 out of every 100 students are male. If there are 500 students, then 250 of them are male. An increase of $ 0.15 on
2976-402: Is heavy enough to justify ceasing play. If the umpires of that match had halted play one ball earlier, England would have been ahead on D/L, and so would have won the match. Equally, if play had stopped one ball later, India could have won the match with a dot ball – indicating how finely-tuned D/L calculations can be in such situations. During the 2012/13 KFC Big Bash League , D/L was used in

3072-483: Is not always clear from the context what a percentage is relative to. When speaking of a "10% rise" or a "10% fall" in a quantity, the usual interpretation is that this is relative to the initial value of that quantity. For example, if an item is initially priced at $ 200 and the price rises 10% (an increase of $ 20), the new price will be $ 220. Note that this final price is 110% of the initial price (100% + 10% = 110%). Some other examples of percent changes : In general,
3168-400: Is popular with spectators as it can encourage aggressive, risky, entertaining batting , often results in cliffhanger endings, and ensures that a spectator can watch an entire match without committing to five days of continuous attendance. Each team bats only once, and each innings is limited to a set number of overs , usually fifty in a One Day International and between forty and sixty in
3264-509: Is set so that a side must include at least five players who bowl i.e. each bowler can only bowl 20% of the overs. For example, the usual limit for twenty-over cricket is four overs per bowler, for forty-over cricket eight per bowler and for fifty-over cricket ten per bowler. There are exceptions: Pro Cricket in the United States restricted bowlers to five overs each, thus leaving a side requiring only four bowlers. Limited over cricket

This can be expanded for a case where one does not have the same percent change. If the initial amount p leads to a percent change x , and the second percent change is y , then the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x )(1 + 0.01 y ) . To change
3552-512: Is this number rounded down to the preceding integer. If Team 2 reaches or passes the target score, then they have won the match. If the match ends when Team 2 has exactly met (but not passed) the par score then the match is a tie. If Team 2 fail to reach the par score then they have lost. For example, if a rain delay means that Team 2 only has 90% of resources available, and Team 1 scored 254 with 100% of resources available, then 254 × 90% / 100% = 228.6, so Team 2's target
3648-517: Is to say that the interest rate increased by 5%, which could theoretically mean that it increased from 10% per annum to 10.5% per annum. It is clearer to say that the interest rate increased by 5 percentage points (pp). The same confusion between the different concepts of percent(age) and percentage points can potentially cause a major misunderstanding when journalists report about election results, for example, expressing both new results and differences with earlier results as percentages. For example, if
3744-434: Is usually played with white balls rather than the traditional red balls. This was introduced because the team batting second is likely to need to play under floodlights and a white ball is easier to see under these conditions. The white balls are supposed to be otherwise identical to traditional balls, but according to BBC Sport , some cricketers claim that the harder surface causes white balls to swing more. The idea for
3840-530: Is usually written as two words ( per cent ), although percentage and percentile are written as one word. In American English , percent is the most common variant (but per mille is written as two words). In the early 20th century, there was a dotted abbreviation form " per cent. ", as opposed to " per cent ". The form " per cent. " is still in use in the highly formal language found in certain documents like commercial loan agreements (particularly those subject to, or inspired by, common law), as well as in

The symbol for percent (%) evolved from a symbol abbreviating the Italian per cento . In some other languages, the form procent or prosent is used instead. Some languages use both a word derived from percent and an expression in that language meaning the same thing, e.g. Romanian procent and la sută (thus, 10% can be read or sometimes written ten for [each] hundred , similarly with

4224-595: The International System of Units and the ISO 31-0 standard require a space. The word "percentage" is often a misnomer in the context of sports statistics, when the referenced number is expressed as a decimal proportion, not a percentage: "The Phoenix Suns ' Shaquille O'Neal led the NBA with a .609 field goal percentage (FG%) during the 2008–09 season." (O'Neal made 60.9% of his shots, not 0.609%.) Likewise,

After each reduction in overs, the new total batting resources available to the two teams are found, using figures for

We know that 60% of all students are female, and among these 5% are computer science majors, so we conclude that 60 / 100 × 5 / 100 = 3 / 100 or 3% of all students are female computer science majors. Dividing this by the 10% of all students that are computer science majors, we arrive at
4512-411: The winning percentage of a team, the fraction of matches that the club has won, is also usually expressed as a decimal proportion; a team that has a .500 winning percentage has won 50% of their matches. The practice is probably related to the similar way that batting averages are quoted. As "percent" it is used to describe the grade or slope, the steepness of a road or railway , formula for which

After rain delayed the start of the match, it interrupted Melbourne's innings when they had scored 159/1 off 15.2 overs, and both innings were reduced by 2 overs to 18, and Melbourne finished on 183/2. After a further rain delay reduced Perth's innings to 17 overs, Perth returned to the field to face 13 overs, with

However, it drew commercial television coverage and positive commentary by journalists, who noted the potential to attract sponsors and spectators amid declining attendance levels. The following year,
4800-563: The DLS method. This was achieved by reaching 171/5 from 15 overs. An example of a D/L tied match was the ODI between England and India on 11 September 2011. This match was frequently interrupted by rain in the final overs, and a ball-by-ball calculation of the Duckworth–Lewis 'par' score played a key role in tactical decisions during those overs. At one point, India were leading under D/L during one rain delay, and would have won if play had not resumed. At

For instance, it is commonly suggested that the word percent (or per cent) be spelled out in all texts, as in "1 percent" and not "1%". Other guides prefer the word to be written out in humanistic texts, but the symbol to be used in scientific texts. Most guides agree that they always be written with

In the 4th India–England ODI in the 2008 series , the first innings was interrupted by rain on two occasions, reducing the match to 22 overs each. India (batting first) made 166/4. The D/L method increased England's target to 198 from 22 overs. As England knew they had only 22 overs, the expectation is that they could score more runs from those overs than India had from their (interrupted) innings. England made 178/8 from 22 overs, and so

This edition also removed the use of the G50 constant when dealing with interruptions in the first innings. The decision on which edition should be used is for the cricket authority which runs the particular competition. The ICC Playing Handbook requires the use of the Professional Edition for internationals. This also applies to most countries' national competitions. At lower levels of

For the 2015 World Cup , the ICC implemented the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern formula, which included work by the new custodian of the method, Professor Steven Stern , from the Department of Statistics at Queensland University of Technology . These changes recognised that teams need to start out with a higher scoring rate when chasing high targets rather than keep wickets in hand. Using

As shown above, percent changes can be applied in any order and have the same effect. In the case of interest rates , a very common but ambiguous way to say that an interest rate rose from 10% per annum to 15% per annum, for example,

Various different methods had been used previously to resolve rain-affected cricket matches, with the most common being the Average Run Rate method , and later, the Most Productive Overs method .

The D/L method was first used in international cricket on 1 January 1997 in the second match of the Zimbabwe versus England ODI series , which Zimbabwe won by seven runs. The D/L method was formally adopted by the ICC in 1999 as the standard method of calculating target scores in rain-shortened one-day matches. The essence of the D/L method is 'resources'. Each team is taken to have two 'resources' to use to score as many runs as possible:

In the early days of ODI cricket, the number of overs was generally 60 overs per side, and matches were also played with 40, 45 or 55 overs per side, but now it has been uniformly fixed at 50 overs. Every four years, the Cricket World Cup involves all the Test-playing nations and other national sides who qualify through

Instead, the percentages also vary with score, so a computer is required. Therefore, it loses some of the previous advantages of transparency and simplicity. In 2002 the resource percentages were revised, following an extensive analysis of limited overs matches, and there
6624-423: The host nation and two touring sides. There is usually a round-robin group , and then the leading two teams play each other in a final, or sometimes a best-of-three final. When there is only one touring side, there is still often a best-of-five or best-of-seven series of limited overs matches. The ICC World Cricket League is an ODI competition for national teams with Associate or Affiliate status. List A cricket
6720-506: The innings remaining when u {\displaystyle u} overs are left and w {\displaystyle w} wickets are down. These proportions can be plotted in a graph, as shown right, or shown in a single table, as shown below. This became the Standard Edition. When it was introduced, it was necessary that D/L could be implemented with a single table of resource percentages, as it could not be guaranteed that computers would be present. Therefore, this single formula
6816-462: The intent was to say 100%. Whenever communicating about a percentage, it is important to specify what it is relative to (i.e., what is the total that corresponds to 100%). The following problem illustrates this point. In a certain college 60% of all students are female, and 10% of all students are computer science majors. If 5% of female students are computer science majors, what percentage of computer science majors are female? We are asked to compute
6912-435: The interruption, so the total resource used by Sri Lanka was still slightly more than England had available, hence the slightly decreased target for England. A simple example of the D/L method being applied was the 1st ODI between India and Pakistan in their 2006 ODI series . India batted first, and were all out for 328. Pakistan, batting second, were 311/7 when bad light stopped play after the 47th over. Pakistan's target, had
7008-491: The involvement of overs that last 5 balls each. There are now also T10 leagues with a format of 10 overs per side (resulting in 90-minute games). The Emirates Cricket Board also launched Ninety–90 Bash , an upcoming annual franchise-based 90-ball cricket league in the United Arab Emirates . One Day International matches are usually played in brightly coloured clothing often in a "day-night" format where
7104-436: The match continued, was 18 runs in 18 balls, with three wickets in hand. Considering the overall scoring rate throughout the match, this is a target most teams would be favoured to achieve. And indeed, application of the D/L method resulted in a retrospective target score of 305 (or par score of 304) at the end of the 47th over, with the result therefore officially listed as " Pakistan won by 7 runs (D/L Method)". The D/L method
7200-582: The match was listed as "India won by 19 runs (D/L method)". During the 5th ODI between India and South Africa in January 2011 , rain halted play twice during the first innings. The match was reduced to 46 overs each. South Africa scored 250/9. The D/L method increased India's target to 268. As the number of overs was reduced during South Africa's innings, this method takes into account what South Africa were likely to have scored if they had known throughout their innings that it would only be 46 overs long. The match
7296-439: The maximum score from one ball is generally six runs. Duckworth said, "I recall hearing Christopher Martin-Jenkins on radio saying 'surely someone, somewhere could come up with something better' and I soon realised that it was a mathematical problem that required a mathematical solution." The D/L method avoids this flaw: in this match, the revised D/L target of 236 would have left South Africa needing four to tie or five to win from
7392-433: The number 0 is included if the interest rate is less than 1%, e.g. " 0 + 3 ⁄ 4 % Treasury Stock", not " 3 ⁄ 4 % Treasury Stock".) It is also widely accepted to use the percent symbol (%) in tabular and graphic material. In line with common English practice, style guides—such as The Chicago Manual of Style —generally state that the number and percent sign are written without any space in between. However,
7488-509: 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 they have left. 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. The D/L method converts all possible combinations of overs (or, more accurately, balls) and wickets left into
7584-426: The numeric value of the ratio by 100. For example, to find 50 apples as a percentage of 1,250 apples, one first computes the ratio 50 / 1250 = 0.04, and then multiplies by 100 to obtain 4%. The percent value can also be found by multiplying first instead of later, so in this example, the 50 would be multiplied by 100 to give 5,000, and this result would be divided by 1,250 to give 4%. To calculate
7680-411: The price (a decrease of $ 22), then the final price will be $ 198— not the original price of $ 200. The reason for this apparent discrepancy is that the two percent changes (+10% and −10%) are measured relative to different initial values ($ 200 and $ 220, respectively), and thus do not "cancel out". In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount
7776-486: The purpose of providing an equivalent to first-class cricket, to allow the generation of career records and statistics for comparable one-day matches. Only the more important one-day competitions in each country, plus matches against a touring Test team, are included. The categorisation of cricket matches as "List A" was not officially endorsed by the International Cricket Council until 2006, when
7872-483: The same formula. The total resources available to a team are given by: which can alternatively be written as: Each time there's an interruption or a restart after an interruption, the resource remaining percentages at those times (obtained from a reference table for the Standard Edition, or from a computer for the Professional Edition) can be entered into the formula, with the rest left blank. Note that
7968-460: The second team reaches its target in fewer overs. If the conditions prevent a match from reaching this minimum length, it is declared a no result . Until 2003, a single version of D/L was in use. This used a single published reference table of total resource percentages remaining for all possible combinations of overs and wickets, and some simple mathematical calculations, and was relatively transparent and straightforward to implement. However,
8064-403: The side batting first score at or below the average for top level cricket ..., the results of applying the Professional Edition are generally similar to those from the Standard Edition. For higher scoring matches, the results start to diverge and the difference increases the higher the first innings total. In effect there is now a different table of resource percentages for every total score in
8160-492: The standard for handling rain-affected matches in international cricket today. The target score in cricket matches without interruptions is one more than the number of runs scored by the team that batted first. When overs are lost, setting an adjusted target for the team batting second is not as simple as reducing the run target proportionally to the loss in overs, because a team with ten wickets in hand and 25 overs to bat can play more aggressively than if they had ten wickets and
8256-454: The total amount of batting resources remaining for any combination of overs and wickets. While the process for converting these resources remaining figures into total resource available figures is the same in the two Editions, this can be done manually in the Standard Edition, as the resource remaining figures are published in a reference table. However, the resource remaining figures used in the Professional Edition are not publicly available, so
8352-423: The usual laws of cricket , including the use of a Super Over (one or more additional overs played by each team) to decide the result of tied matches. 100-ball cricket (2.5-hour games), another form of one-day cricket with 100 deliveries per side, launched in England in 2021. It is designed to further shorten game time and to attract a new audience. It makes further changes to the usual laws of cricket , such as
8448-436: The value of G50, perhaps, should be different for each country, or even for each ground, and there is no reason why any cricket authority may not choose the value it believes to be the most appropriate. In fact it would be possible for the two captains to agree a value of G50 before the start of each match, taking account of all relevant factors. However, we do not believe that something that is only invoked if rain interferes with
8544-407: The version of D/L most commonly in use in international and first-class matches (the 'Professional Edition'), the target for Team 2 is adjusted simply in proportion to the two teams' resources, i.e. If, as usually occurs, this 'par score' is a non- integer number of runs, then Team 2's target to win is this number rounded up to the next integer, and the score to tie (also called the par score),
8640-438: Was p , the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x )(1 − 0.01 x ) = p (1 − (0.01 x ) ) ; hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number). Thus, in the above example, after an increase and decrease of x = 10 percent , the final amount, $ 198, was 10% of 10%, or 1%, less than the initial amount of $ 200. The net change
8736-556: Was a change to the G50 for ODIs. (G50 is the average score expected from the team batting first in an uninterrupted 50 overs-per-innings match.) G50 was changed to 235 for ODIs. These changes came into effect on 1 September 2002. As of 2014, these resource percentages are the ones still in use in the Standard Edition, though G50 has subsequently changed. The tables show how the percentages were in 1999 and 2001, and what they were changed to in 2002. Mostly they were reduced. The original version
8832-627: Was introduced in 1997, and adopted officially by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1999. After the retirement of both Duckworth and Lewis, the Australian statistician Steven Stern became the custodian of the method, which was renamed to its current title in November 2014. In 2014, he refined the model to better fit modern scoring trends, especially in T20 cricket, resulting in the updated Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. This refined method remains
8928-535: Was listed as "South Africa won by 33 runs (D/L method)". On 3 December 2014, Sri Lanka played England and batted first, but play was interrupted when Sri Lanka had scored 6/1 from 2 overs. At the restart, both innings were reduced to 35 overs, and Sri Lanka finished on 242/8. D/L reduced England's target to 236 from 35 overs. Although Sri Lanka had less resource remaining after the interruption than England would have for their whole innings (about 7% less), they had used up 8% of their resource (2 overs and 1 wicket) before
9024-444: Was named the Standard Edition, and the new version was named the Professional Edition. Tony Lewis said, "We were then [at the time of the 2003 World Cup Final ] using what is now known as the Standard Edition. ... Australia got 359 and that showed up the flaws and straight away the next edition was introduced which handled high scores much better. The par score for India is likely to be much higher now." Duckworth and Lewis wrote, "When
9120-416: Was used giving average resources. This method relies on the assumption that average performance is proportional to the mean, irrespective of the actual score. This was good enough in 95 per cent of matches, but in the 5 per cent of matches with very high scores, the simple approach started to break down. To overcome the problem, an upgraded formula was proposed with an additional parameter whose value depends on
9216-463: Was used in the group stage match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe at the T20 World Cup in 2010 . Sri Lanka scored 173/7 in 20 overs batting first, and in reply Zimbabwe were 4/0 from 1 over when rain interrupted play. At the restart Zimbabwe's target was reduced to 108 from 12 overs, but rain stopped the match when they had scored 29/1 from 5 overs. The retrospective D/L target from 5 overs was
