Fair Target Calculation
In cricket, a fair target calculation ensures that if a match is shortened, the team batting second faces a challenge that is statistically similar to what the first team faced. The DLS method achieves this by adjusting the target based on the 'resources remaining' (overs and wickets) for the second team, making sure neither team is unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged by the interruption.
