Applications: Estimation of the Magnitude of Victory in One‐day Cricket RMIT University, Mayo Clinic Rochester and Simon Fraser University

Abstract

The Duckworth–Lewis method is steadily becoming the standard approach for resetting targets in interrupted one‐day cricket matches. In this paper we show that a modification of the Duckworth–Lewis resource table can be used to quantify the magnitude of a victory in one‐day matches. This simple and direct application is particularly useful in breaking ties in tournament standings and in quantifying team strength.
