Frank Duckworth, one of the minds behind the famous DLS method in cricket, died at the age of 82 last Friday, June 21.

The DLS method was invented in the recent game in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 where Afghanistan beat Bangladesh by eight runs in Kingstown to reach the semifinals on Monday, June 24.
