Duckworth-Lewis method in 20-20 shoudl it be there at all?

Question

in the sport of cricket, the Duckworth-Lewis method (D/L method) is a mathematical way to calculate the target score for the team batting second in a one-day cricket or Twenty-20 cricket match interrupted by weather or other circumstance. It is generally accepted to be a fair and accurate method of setting a target score, but as it attempts to predict what would have happened had the game come to its natural conclusion, it generates some controversy"
Now for those of you who saw the match yesterday it clearly shows the clumsiness of the rule
I think there should be no DL in twenty 20
Yesterday when rain stopped play Aus were ahead
but when match resumed after rain
Zim won
Goes to show that mathmatically calculation are not for this format where you can get 36 runs in an over and even more considering the new no ball rule


_____

Answer 1

No in short term overs match like 20-20 D\L method should not be applied, as no one knows what d result is going to be till d last ball.....

Answer 2

D/L Method was not made applicable in yesterday's match as no over was reduced and both teams played 20 overs each. If the match was stopped after 5th over of Zimbawe innings or if the match could not be played for full 20 overs, D/L Method would have been made applkicable.

Answer 3

i thnk there is no need of using the D/L method in such matches in which the overs are limited like in 20 20 matches..

Answer 4

Storm in the tea cup?
