Duckworth system,rain interruption all this things dont do any good to the growth of the sport.
Z(u, w) = Z0(w)[1 - exp{-b(w)u}]
where Z(u, w) is the expected number of runs to be scored in u overs when w wickets have been lost. Z0(w) is the average total score if an unlimited number of overs were available and when w wickets have been lost. b(w) is a decay constant that varies with w, the number of wickets lost.
Duckworth and Lewis do not list the values of the constants Z0(w) and b(w). The following table lists values based on fitting the above formula to the actual over by over scores in the one-day internationals mentioned above. The values are calculated separately for the side batting first and the side batting second.
