How do I calculate a Duckworth–Lewis–Stern result for a weather-shortened cricket match?

Direct answer

Use the official competition DLS revised target: it depends on runs, overs remaining, wickets lost and interruption timing. A simple adjusted run-rate calculation is not an official DLS result.

How to use this answer

This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.

Use the official revised target and outcome published by the competition; informal run-rate calculations do not replace DLS.

Shortened or unfinished matches may be treated differently by market. Record the event format, score at suspension and the specific retirement, abandonment or overs rule rather than assuming every selection is void.
