Rain is one of the most disruptive weather elements in cricket. Matches can be delayed, interrupted, or even abandoned due to heavy downpours. In some cases, the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method is used to calculate revised targets, which can alter the dynamics of the game. For instance, during tournaments, if a match is abandoned due to rain, the higher-seeded team may be declared the winner, as seen in some international competitions.
