Rain has followed The Hundred this weekend but not even the elements could prevent the Southern Brave from beating the Northern Superchargers in the Women's Hundred at The Ageas Bowl on Saturday.

In the end the Brave won courtesy of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. A description that would have most people scratching their heads in confusion, particularly as the home side had already scored more runs than the visitors. 

With rain circling at The Kia Oval the day after that Braves' victory, it's worth a very brief explanation! DLS is effectively a formula that decides how many runs the team batting second have to chase if a match is impacted by the weather and time and balls are lost. Giving a detailed description would take some time and might need the assistance of a qualified mathematician.

But as the action hots up in the group stages, DLS might be three letters that have an impact on those teams who make it to the eliminators.
