Bumper Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Rules say NRR is valid for D/L affected games too. Here are the rules: Interrupted games with revised targets. The rules for the ICC 2007 Cricket World Cup determine a slightly different NRR contribution for Team B in matches where Duckworth-Lewis revised targets are set due to interruptions which reduce the number of overs bowled. For example, in a 50-over World Cup first-round group match, Team A are dismissed for 165 in 33.5 overs. Team B progresses to 120-0, but play is halted after 18 overs due to rain. Six overs are lost, and the target is reset to 150, which Team B reach comfortably after 26.2 overs with only 2 wickets lost. Because the target was revised, 6 overs were lost and Team A were bowled out, Team A's total is reset to 149 after 44 overs, thus their RR = 149/44 = 3.39 . Team B's RR, however, is computed as normal: 150/26.2 = 5.70 Computing the match NRR for Team A gives us 3.39 - 5.70 = -2.31. Team B's NRR is: 5.70 - 3.39 = 2.31. Link to comment
Bumper Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: Showers expected for SL-BD game If the game is dominated by SL, then D/L can ding their NRR significantly (depending on how many overs are lost) Link to comment
King Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: Showers expected for SL-BD game If the game is rained off then India need not worry considering India will have 4 points if it wins against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh 5 points if they win against Bermuda and Sri Lanka 3 points. Link to comment
