Abstract

In the game of cricket, the advantage a team enjoys by doing better than what the par score demands at the time of interruption is something which should get distributed among rest of the overs. When the remaining overs get significantly reduced due to an interruption, as per the present methods, this entire advantage a team possesses at the time of interruption gets concentrated to a lesser number of overs, thus increasing their winning probability significantly. Makeup factor is a feature which makes a proportionate reduction in this advantage/disadvantage based on the proportion of the remaining overs after interruption to the originally remaining overs at the time of interruption.
