In the ongoing T20 world cup,rain Gods showed their presence for a couple of matches in the league stage.As usual,ICC never looked at the weather conditions before scheduling the matches.More worse is applying D/L method for the rain-prone matches where not even 25% of the overs have been bowled.T20 is already the shortest form of cricket.Applying D/L method after 6 overs is not the proper method to declare results.We have seen teams hitting 50% of the runs in the last 5 to 6 overs and went-on to win the match.Seeing those matches through D/L method would have handed them defeat.We have seen things getting changed after 10 overs.D/L method is giving undue advantage to the team batting second bcos all they have to do to give a head start and leave the rest to rain Gods.Getting a runrate of 10 in first 6 overs is not a herculean task in T20 though maintaining the same is.So Sports cannot be judged by Statistics.Atleast T20 should not be judged by D/L method.

Wats ur view?

D/L method is not a precise one to follow in cricket. they are following that method only because no other model is available.
