According to ICC rules, if one team has batted completely, the other team has to play at least five overs, then the winning team will be determined by Duckworth-Louis rules.
The Duckworth-Lewis method is a mathematical formula to re-determine the target for the team playing the second innings by correcting for overs affected by rain or poor lighting.
The things that are taken into account for this are how many overs have been lost and how many wickets the other team has available.
Because of this, the target for the other batting team may decrease or increase.
However, if even five overs are not played, the Duckworth-Lewis method will not apply and the match will be declared a 'wash-out', resulting in the points being shared between the two teams.
