TY  - JOUR
AB  - One-day international cricket matches face the problem of weather inter-ruption. In such circumstances, a so-called rain rule is used to decide theoutcome. A variety of approaches for constructing such rules has been pro-posed, with the Duckworth-Lewis method being preferred in the sport. Thereare a number of issues to consider in reasoning about the e↵ectiveness of arain rule, notably accuracy (does the rule make the right decision?)  andfairness (are both teams treated equally?). We develop an approach that isa hybrid of resource-based and so-called probability-preserving approachesand provide empirical evidence that this hybrid method is superior in termsof fairness while competitive in terms of accuracy.
