Yesterday, those who watched the first ODI match between India and Australia must have noticed one thing

The Indian team scored 136 runs in the allotted overs,

but Australia was given a target of 131 runs to win.

That is, six runs were deducted from the score scored by India.

While we used to hear that if the team batting first plays fewer overs,

It gets extra scores; the runs scored from India’s total were also deducted.

Why did this happen? The science behind it is very difficult, but I will try to explain it to you in this article.

Suppose a team is batting first and has not been out for ninety runs in fifteen overs, and it rains

the match becomes a twenty-over match, and the team scores fifty runs in the next five overs, then

The opposing team will get a target of one hundred and forty in the allotted twenty overs, which is very easy in today’s cricket.

So in such a case, the team batting first gets extra runs because they were initially playing a fifty-over match. If they had played the twenty-over match from the beginning,

They could have reached one hundred and eighty-nine, while the other team knows from the first ball

that they have to play twenty overs, so the team batting first will get some extra runs to make up for this initial loss…

Now on the other hand, yesterday’s match, where India was 50 for 4 in 15 overs, it is possible that if the match had been a full 50 overs

The team would have been all out for 100, but the rain came as a blessing for them, and in the remaining 11 overs,

They got a chance to hit openly, and thus the initial advantage that the Australian bowlers had gained was also gone, and due to the short match, their main bowlers’ overs also ended.

So to reduce this advantage, six runs were deducted from the Indian total.

If the Indian team had been 60 for zero in 15 overs in this match, then perhaps they would have gotten extra scores, but now the scores have been reduced due to the fall of wickets.

Overall, the purpose of making this rule is to create a balance between the two teams

so that the initial advantage of one team is not lost, but if I were to tell you the exact formula

so that you can do the calculation yourself with every over and wicket; this would probably not be possible…

However, Pakistan and South Africa will be competing in the second test today, so follow Heartsport for match updates…
