🌧️ Why australia Chased Less Than india Scored
DLS Method Comes Into Play
The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method was used to calculate Australia’s revised target.
Rain interruptions caused a significant reduction in overs.
The match became a 26-overs-per-side contest.
Despite india scoring 136, the DLS method adjusted the target based on:
Overs left
Wickets in hand
Resources available at each stage
Timing of the interruptions
Why Target Was 131 and Not 136
India lost 9 wickets during their innings.
According to DLS, teams with fewer wickets remaining have lower resource percentages.
Australia, starting fresh with all 10 wickets and 26 overs, had more resources.
Therefore, their equivalent fair target was brought down to 131 runs.
If india had been bowled out before 26 overs, Australia’s target might have been even lower.
