Answers
The method for determining the winner in a rain affected match is called Duckworth Lewis method. The targets of the match are set again using this method in a match that has been interrupted by rains. This method is based on two factors - the overs left and the wickets taken. There is a table based on these two factors, where percentage is calculated on the basis of overs left and wickets taken, and this percentage is used to set the targets for winning again. For example, if 60 overs are left and 9 wickets are taken, then the percentage is 7.6. This table is useful for match of any length with a maximum of 60 overs. This percentage is the percentage of resources remaining. So, we say that in a 60 over match, 9 wickets are taken, 7.6 percent match is lost or over, so now the match will be resumed considering 100-7.6% = 92.4% match left.
The table is a long one, the complete table may or may not be available on internet.
