According to the report, He became the most viewed in twitch, mixer and youtube.

Enjoy the stream.

How does the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method works in cricket?

The whole cake represents 100% of the cake. Now cut the cake into four pieces. Three pieces together will represent 75% of the cake, two pieces will show 50% while only one piece will represent 1/4 or 25%.

Now, imagine a batting side in ODI format. At the start of the innings, they have 50 overs to play and 10 wickets in hand. This 50 overs+10 wicket is 100% of the ‘resources’ they have. If they have 0 overs left to play or all their 10 wickets have been taken, then they are left with nothing. Hence, 0 overs left to play or 0 wickets in hand shows that the batting side has 0% of the resources.

Now here the main thing starts.

• How are scores adjusted according to DLS system?

Let us say there is a match between Australia and England. Australia scored 250/10 runs in 50 overs in the first innings. England was at 190/5 in 40 overs when rain interrupted the match. The rain is so much that no further play is allowed and the winner has to be decided by the DLS method.

Now according to the run rate method, it might look that Australia should win the match because they had a run rate of 5 (250/50) than 4.75 (190/40) of England but this is not the case. It is unfair because this doesn’t take into account that England still has 5 wickets left and the pace of batting won’t be the same in the last overs. This is where the DLS system helps.

DLS system uses a formula to take into account the over remaining and also the number of wickets they have in hand. This is the chart,

Now England was at 190/5 in 40 overs which means they lost 5 wickets and still have 10 overs in hand. In this table, look for 5 wickets lost and 10 overs remaining, and it will lead to the number 26.1. This means England still have 26.1% of their resource (overs+wickets) remaining.

26.1% is the resources left with them. So how much resources (overs+wickets) did they consume? It is 100–26.1=73.9. This means in reaching 190/5 in 40 overs, they consumed 73.9% of their resources (overs+wickets).

Now Australia had scored 250 in 50 overs by utilizing 100% of the overs. So now the adjusted score will be 73.9/100 multiplied by 250. This is to see how much Australia would’ve scored had they consumed the same amount of resources that England used (73.9%). So 0.739*250=184.75 which means Australia would’ve scored 185 runs with the same resources as England. England was at 190/5 so according to DLS method, England has won the match.

Had England been at 190/6, the adjusted score would’ve been 193 runs. Had England been at 190/7, the adjusted score would’ve been 205 runs. You can check this yourself from the table. As the wickets increased, the adjusted score increased and hence in rain prevailing conditions, team tend to focus more on losing minimum wickets.

Example 2

Imagine it is India VS NZ. India scored 300 runs in 50 overs but before the start of the second inning, rain starts. Due to rain, the second inning is reduced to 45 overs. What will the adjusted score be?

Now the DLS method needs to account for the reduced overs. NZ has 10 wickets but now they have only 45 overs. So search the table for 45 overs left and 0 wickets lost, it will lead you to the number 95. This means that NZ has 95% of its resource available now.

India had earlier scored 300 by using 100% of the resources. So what would India’s score be if they also had 95% of the resources like NZ? It will be 95/100 multiplied by 300. Hence 0.95*300 gives 285 runs and hence 286 runs will be the target for NZ now.

If the first innings had utilized 100% of their resources then you simply, multiply the resources used or resources available percentage of the 2nd team with the score of the first inning to get the adjusted score.

• If you have to judge the winner if the rain stops the match fully, then you use the resources used percentage.
• If you have to adjust the score which has to be chased now then you use the resources available percentage.

---

Now, what if the rain had interrupted the first inning too and the first team didn’t use 100% of their resources? What if they only played for 30 overs? In that case, you simply calculate the resources utilized by Team 1 from the same table the same way you used for Team 2 earlier and then you simply use the formula,

Adjusted score= Team 1 score * Resource % with Team 2/Resource % with Team 1

Bingo!

If Resource % of Team 2 is more than Resource % of Team 1, then the fraction value will be more than 1 and the adjusted score will become greater than the first inning score and hence often you see in reality too that the adjusted score is sometimes greater than the first inning score.

---

This is the whole foundation of the method. Nowadays, the officials use more formulae and data which isn’t available to the public and is available only as a software but the basic logic behind the method is the same as mentioned in the answer.

South Africa Tour Of India March 2020 Match no 1

Pc: InsideSport

Match no: 1

Date: 12-March

Day: Thursday

Venue: Dharamsala

Stadium: Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium

Match Status: Match Abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain.

Match Preview: 

After a 3-0 drubbing in New Zealand, India is back to their comfort zone, playing in home conditions. Over the last few years, India has a terrific record of playing at home and that should help them heal the bruises they suffered against New Zealand. South Africa, on the other hand, has been in terrific touch and are coming off a 3-0 win over the Aussies. Still, the assignment of playing in India will be tough for them as adapting to the conditions so quickly will be a challenge. The first match of the three-match series between the two sides is to be played at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Cricket Ground, Dharamsala on 12th March.


India Squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli (C), KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill.

South Africa Squad: Quinton de Kock(w/c), Temba Bavuma, Faf du Plessis, JJ Smuts, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Janneman Malan, Kyle Verreynne, Anrich Nortje, Lutho Sipamla, George Linde, Rassie van der Dussen, Beuran Hendricks

India:

While India wasn't playing with a truly depleted side against the Kiwis, one could argue that they weren't playing at their full-strength either. With Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Hardik Pandya back in the squad, this India unit looks as dangerous as it looked a couple of months ago. However, Rohit Sharma is still out injured and Mayank Agarwal is likely to slot in the top along with Shikhar Dhawan.

Ravindra Jadeja was brilliant in the away conditions, which were excellent for the seam bowlers, and he is likely to be even for effective on Indian soil. That, however, leaves India with a bitter-sweet problem to pick between Jadeja and Pandya. We might see India pick both of them and leave the number six out, but that might leave India with a long tail.

South Africa: 

South Africa has had a rollercoaster ride over the last couple of months, but they finally seem to be picking up pace. A 3-0 win against Australia would have imbibed them with plenty of confidence and they will be raring to go against this out-of-form Indian unit.

Against the Aussies, the Proteas were fantastic in all departments of the game. The change of management seems to have worked wonders for them and this series against India would be a big test for the Proteas. On paper, they have a very talented batting unit, although it is a bit inexperienced. The return of Faf du Plessis is going to provide them with a bit of comfort in the top-order, something which they seemed to be lacking against the Aussies. Their middle-order, with Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller in superb form, looks as good as ever. With bowling doing fine as well, beating South Africa isn't going to be as trivial as it appeared to be a couple of months ago.

IPL not in jeopardy due to coronavirus, says Sourav Ganguly

The thirteenth edition of the BCCI’s golden hen Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to kick-off on March 29. However, there is a global epidemic that has eclipsed all major sporting events of late, going by the name of Corona Virus (COVID 19).

As many as 3100 have been fatally reported, while many remain critically infected due to the deadly virus originated from Wuhan in China.

A major population of the world still remains under quarantine or observation. The virus recently made its way to India, through tourists visiting China, or by any other means.

Despite the international frenzy around the infection, BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly remains positive about the 13th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) taking place. And, that the tournament is not in any jeopardy.

“Nothing in India. Not even discussed it (Coronavirus),” Sourav told the reporters when asked about the IPL or South Africa ODI series being affected due to the virus.

“There is no threat as of now, and we are keeping a tab (on the situation).” IPL Governing Council chairman Brajesh Patel confirmed, according to PTI.

Many club football matches in Italy are scheduled to be played in front of empty stadiums to decrease the chances of transmission of the virus through the public gathering. The outbreak of the deadly coronavirus has also put the upcoming Tokyo Olympics under doubt.
