Duckworth-Lewis.com - FAQ
When the interruption occurs during the first innings, so that the match is shortened to one of fewer overs per side than it was at its start, Team 1 are usually more disadvantaged than Team 2. Before the stoppage they had been pacing their innings in the expectation of receiving say 50 overs and would not have taken the risks of scoring as fast as they would have done had they known their innings was to be shortened. Team 2, on the other hand, know from the start of their innings that they have the reduced number of overs and can pace their entire innings accordingly. Team 2 are set a higher target to compensate Team1 for this disadvantage.merely at clientco for the entertainment -

A team with more wickets left and the same number of overs can afford to play more aggresively and so increase their run rate. This means they get set a higher total.
