What is a DLS calculator?

A DLS calculator helps estimate a fair revised target when a limited-overs cricket match is interrupted by rain or reduced overs. This Cricstars tool uses a D/L Standard resource-table engine to show the revised target, current par score, resource percentages and G50 context in one clean result.

Best useQuick rain-rule estimates for scorers, captains and tournament organisers.
Shows clearlyRevised target, current par score, required rate, R1/R2 and G50.
Official noteFor official competitions, use the scorer system approved by your league or board.

Calculate a DLS estimate

Use this calculator for match-day planning and public guidance. Official match results should still follow your competition's approved DLS system and playing conditions.

One calculator, full result Revised target, current par score and resource details are calculated together.
Runs made or projected by the first batting side.
Use 20 for T20, 50 for ODI, or your club format.
Overs available after rain or interruption.
Used to estimate remaining batting resources.
Used for par-score and match-position guidance.

Important: This public tool now uses the D/L Standard resource table and G50 method. It is not the licensed ICC DLS Professional/CODA engine, so official competitions should still use their approved scorer system.

DLS target estimate

Revised target is estimated from first innings runs and the reduced chase resources.

Target ≈ floor(first innings runs × resource ratio) + 1

Overs are resources

Fewer overs normally means fewer scoring resources, but wickets lost also matter.

Resource ratio uses overs available and wickets lost

Official use

For official fixtures, use the competition-approved DLS resource tables and rules.

DLS calculator FAQs

Simple answers for captains, scorers, players and tournament organisers who need a quick rain-rule estimate without reading a technical manual.

It gives you a practical revised target when overs are reduced. It also shows the current par score, required rate and the resource values behind the result, so you can understand the match situation quickly.
Use it as a match-day guide or planning tool. For official competitions, the final result should still come from the system or scorer method approved by your league, board or tournament rules.
Because the chasing team may lose overs, scoring time and batting resources. DLS-style calculations try to balance the match by comparing the resources available before and after the interruption.
Par score is the score the chasing side should roughly be on at that moment, considering overs left and wickets lost. If the chase is above par, they are ahead of the estimate; if they are below par, they are behind.
A team with more wickets in hand can usually score faster later. A team that has already lost many wickets has less batting resource left, even if the same number of overs remain.
No. The calculator uses the table internally, but showing hundreds of rows would make the page harder to use. The important values — R1, R2, current resource and G50 — are shown in the result area instead.
Yes, you can enter 20 overs, 50 overs or a custom club format. The calculator is designed for quick limited-overs scenarios where rain or interruptions reduce the chase.
