Duckworth–Lewis method

The Duckworth–Lewis method is a mathematical approach used in cricket to fairly determine the target score when a limited-overs game is interrupted by weather or other delays. It calculates a revised target based on the number of overs remaining and wickets lost, reflecting the team's potential to score in the remaining play. Essentially, it adjusts the score so that both teams have a fair chance, considering the changed conditions, ensuring that the game remains fair and competitive regardless of interruptions.
