The CWC 2019 semi-final match between India and New Zealand has been interrupted due to rains. The covers are still on and needless to say that it is very likely that the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method could be implemented for the game. After winning the toss, New Zealand had elected to bat first and have already batted for 46.1 overs in the game. The Black Caps have put up 211 runs on the board with the loss of five wickets. Even before the announcement of the DLS method is yet to be implemented, the netizens have started poking fun on social media about the same.

The netizens on social media posted a few jokes and funny memes on Twitter and are wondering what will be the score for India to chase if Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system will be implemented. This is not the first time in the CWC 2019 that the rains have interrupted the sport. In fact, three of the matches in CWC 2019 have been washed out even without a single bowl being bowled. Check out a few tweets where the netizens have taken a jibe at DLS systems.

Last one.
The DLS calculation should take into account the relative wealth of the competing cricket boards.
