The table shows the percentage of resources (runs) remaining at different stages of an innings based on overs left and wickets lost. It was created by Duckworth and Lewis to help determine revised targets in rain-interrupted one day cricket matches. The higher the percentage, the more resources a team has to score runs. The percentage decreases as overs remaining decreases and wickets lost increases. The table aims to provide a fair method for adjusting scores based on the conditions faced by each team.
