Pakistan’s run-chase of 402 against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru today (November 4) is interestingly poised with rain interfering Pakistan’s charge to a record run-chase. Here is all you need to know about the required DLS par scores for Pakistan.
Pakistan are aiming for 402 to survive the 2023 World Cup and have made a strong start that few expected. After 21.3 overs into the innings, the scoreboard read 160 for 1, with opener Fakhar Zaman taking the lead with a 63-ball hundred before the attack was interrupted by rain.
If Pakistan loses this match, they will be eliminated from the World Cup, but if they win, their hopes of advancing to the semi-finals remain. Things may have looked bleak for Pakistan at half-time, but their strong start raised hopes. If we have good rain, we have a good chance of completing this chase.
What is the DLS par score after 21.3 overs?
Pakistan’s score during the rain break was 160-1 in 21.3 overs. According to the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern par-scoring calculation, Pakistan have a10-run leadin par-scoring.
The original asking rate before starting the run chase was 8.04 and the current run rate is 7.44 but the fact that they have lost only one wicket still leaves them with a DLS par. It’s better than the score. .
At the end of 22 overs, Pakistan’s DLS par score was 171 for the loss of 2 wickets, 193 for the loss of 3 wickets and 220 for the loss of 4 wickets. Had he not lost a single wicket, his par score would have been lower – 139 to be exact.
What are the cut-off times?
Play had to resume at 5:40pm local time to avoid losing any overs. However, that wasn’t the case and they ended up losing the over.
After the first rain stoppage, the game ended at 7:00 pm local time. Simply put, if the match had not resumed by 7pm after the initial break, Pakistan would have been declared winners based on the DLS par score, where they had a 10-run lead.
What is the revised DLS target?
The rain has stopped and the match is scheduled to resume at 6:20 pm local time. Having lost a total of nine overs, they will be chasing runs in 41 overs.
Pakistan’s revised DLS target is 342. This means they need to score another 182 runs in 19.3 overs at a run rate of 9.33, barring further interruptions.
What will be the DLS targets if the match is shortened?
If they lose 10 overs, Pakistan’s DLS target is revised to 335, meaning they need to score another 175 runs in 18.3 overs.
Ideally, the more overs lost, the better for Pakistan. In a 25-over game, you only need to score 37 more runs in 21 balls. This is a very achievable goal.
