<P> This became the Standard Edition . When it was introduced, it was necessary that D / L could be implemented with a single table of resource percentages, as it could not be guaranteed that computers would be present . Therefore, this single formula was used giving average resources . This method relies on the assumption that average performance is proportional to the mean, irrespective of the actual score . This was good enough in 95 per cent of matches, but in the 5 per cent of matches with very high scores, the simple approach started to break down . To overcome the problem, an upgraded formula was proposed with an additional parameter whose value depends on the Team 1 innings . This became the Professional Edition . </P> <P> In the 4th India--England ODI in the 2008 series, the first innings was interrupted by rain on two occasions, resulting in the match being reduced to 22 overs each . India (batting first) made 166 / 4 . England's target was set by the D / L method at 198 from 22 overs . As England knew they had only 22 overs the expectation is that they will be able to score more runs from those overs than India had from their (interrupted) innings . England made 178 / 8 from 22 overs, and so the match was listed as "India won by 19 runs (D / L method)". </P> <P> During the fifth ODI between India and South Africa in January 2011, rain halted play twice during the first innings . The match was reduced to 46 overs each and South Africa scored 250 / 9 . The D / L method was applied which adjusted India's target to 268 . As the number of overs was reduced during South Africa's innings, this method takes into account what South Africa are likely to have scored if they had known throughout their innings that it would only be 46 overs long, and so the match was listed as "South Africa won by 33 runs (D / L method)". </P> <P> On 3 December 2014, Sri Lanka played England and batted first, but play was interrupted when Sri Lanka had scored 6 / 1 from 2 overs . At the restart both innings were reduced to 35 overs, and Sri Lanka finished on 242 / 8 . England's target was set by D / L at 236 from 35 overs . Although Sri Lanka had less resource remaining to them after the interruption than England would have for their whole innings (about 7% less), they'd used up so much resource before the interruption (2 overs and 1 wicket, about 8%), that the total resource used by Sri Lanka was still slightly more than England would have available, hence the slightly decreased target for England . </P>
