New rules have been brought from time to time to maintain fairness in cricket. One of these rules is named ‘Duckworth Lewis’, which appears to be very complicated like his name. It is also known as DLS and is usually used in rain -affected matches. Do you understand DLS well? Do you know how to apply DLS rule? If not, here you will get answers to these questions.

First of all, we know what is this DLS rule? In fact, when the overs are cut in a match due to rain, storm or any other reason, then the team chasing the target is given a new target through the DLS process while maintaining fairness in the match.

How did the DLS rules come?

In the game of cricket, new rules were brought to maintain fairness in the matches affected by rain, but disputes arose from time to time. The DLS rule was discovered by two British statisticians named Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis. He started considering this rule after the controversy in the semi -final match of the 1992 ODI World Cup. In that semi -final match, South Africa had to score 22 runs in 13 balls, while South Africa had to score 21 runs in 1 ball when the match started again after the rain.

The surnames of Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis were named ‘Duckworth Lewis Rules’. The International Cricket Council (ICC) finally adopted the DLS rule in 1999 to reset the target score. For the first time, this rule was used in the England vs. Zimbabwe match in January 1997. Even after being used for so many years, questions have been raised about the DLS rule.

How to apply DLR Rule?

The DLS method is calculated on the basis of remaining wickets and remaining overs. In this, attention is also paid to resources, for which a special table has been prepared. Whenever the match is stopped for some reason, a new target is set based on the remaining wickets and remaining overs of the chase team.

For example, if a team scored 300 runs in 50 overs. In response, the other team has lost 2 wickets in the 20 -overs game and then the rain disturbs the match. So the team chasing the target will have 88.1 percent resources left. To set the new target, the score of the first team will be multiplied by the number that will come to the remaining resources of the second team by 100.

When will India-Pakistan match in T20 World Cup? Know all the details from date to venue

Saudi T20 League: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has moved towards destroying a mega project of Saudi Arabia. In fact, the BCCI has joined hands with the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and the matter is related to the Saudi T20 League, which is expected to invest more than Rs 3,000 crore. It is now reported that the Cricket Board of India and England will not show the Saudi T20 League.

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, after the meeting held during the World Test Championship final match played at Lord’s, the BCCI and ECB have agreed to protest against the Saudi T20 League. It has been agreed between the Cricket Board of the two countries that they will not issue NOC (No Objection Certificate) to their players to play in this new league. Also, both boards have pressurized the Saudi T20 League not to support.

According to this report, Cricket Australia (CA) is focusing on earning profits with the investors of Saudi. The CA support may not have much impact on the Saudi T20 League as the brand value of the IPL is more than 12 billion US dollars, while ECB is going to make a bumper profit of about 700 million US dollars after selling 49 percent stake in the teams in ‘The Hundred League’.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) is also in profit, which gave ownership of the franchisees to the IPL teams 3 years ago. With this deal, CSA was said to have a profit of about 136 million US dollars.
