How does duckworth Louis work?

Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) is a mathematical formula used in cricket to calculate target scores in rain-affected matches. It adjusts the target score based on the number of overs and wickets remaining for each team, taking into account the resources available. The formula aims to ensure a fair contest by providing a revised target that reflects the impact of lost playing time. This method is widely used in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 matches.
