Revised target & live par score for a rain-interrupted limited-overs match
Only matters if Team 1's own innings was also cut short. Leave overs faced at the scheduled overs and wickets at 10 if Team 1 batted their full/normal innings.
Fill these in to see whether Team 2 is currently ahead or behind the required rate mid-innings.
The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method recalculates a fair target score when a limited-overs cricket match is interrupted by weather or another stoppage, so neither team is unfairly punished for lost overs. It works by tracking each team's combined "resources" — overs remaining and wickets in hand — rather than just overs alone.
Enter the scheduled overs per innings and Team 1's final score.
Enter the overs now available to Team 2 after the reduction.
The revised target updates instantly — add Team 2's current score for a live par comparison.
Each team's resource percentage comes from a published table indexed by overs remaining and wickets
lost, where a full uninterrupted innings equals 100%. Team 2's par score is
Team 1 score × (Team 2 resource % / Team 1 resource %), and the winning target is
that par score rounded down, plus one run.
Overs fields use cricket notation, not decimals: 33.4 means 33 overs and 4 balls, not 33.4 overs. Type the ball count (0–5) after the point and the calculator converts it correctly.
No. Duckworth, Lewis, and Stern's exact current resource parameters are commercially licensed to the ICC and not publicly released. This tool uses the resource table the pair themselves published in 2002, which is very close but can differ slightly from the official on-screen number in a televised match.
Work out the new target the moment overs are cut for the chasing team.
Check whether the chasing side is currently ahead or behind the DLS par score.
See the resource percentages behind the target instead of just the final number.
No. It uses the publicly published 2002 Duckworth/Lewis resource table (the Standard Edition). Official international matches use the current ICC-certified Duckworth-Lewis-Stern software, whose exact resource parameters are proprietary and not publicly available, so results here can differ slightly from the official broadcast number.
It's how much scoring potential a team has left, combining overs remaining and wickets in hand into a single percentage, where a full uninterrupted innings equals 100%.
Team 2's par score is Team 1's score multiplied by (Team 2's resource % / Team 1's resource %). The target to win is that par score, rounded down, plus one run.
It's the score Team 2 would need at that exact point (given the overs and wickets used so far) to be level with Team 1 on a resource basis. If Team 2 is above it they're ahead of the required rate, below it they're behind.
Use cricket notation directly: 33.4 means 33 overs and 4 balls, not a decimal fraction. The calculator parses the digit after the point as balls (0-5) and converts it correctly.
