Resource Estimation in T20 Cricket in Python

Whereas the Duckworth-Lewis method (originally designed for one-day cricket) has been adopted in both international T20 matches and in the Indian Premier League, there has been growing objections to itsspecific use in T20. The Duckworth-Lewis method relies on the Duckworth-Lewis resource table which specifies the resources remaining at various stages of a match. In this paper, we consider the estimationof an alternative resource table specifically for T20 cricket. The alternative resource table suggests that there exist meaningful differences in the scoring patterns between one-day cricket and T20, and hence itcalls into question the suitability of the Duckworth-Lewis table for use in T20.
