Explanation

In the Duckworth-Lewis method, G50 represents the average score in a 50-over match, which was set at 245 runs. This value was updated in 2004 from the original 235 to reflect modern batting conditions and higher scoring rates in limited-overs cricket. The G50 figure is fundamental to the D/L calculations for adjusting targets in rain-affected matches.
