The Duckworth-Lewis Method, infamously called as the method which is understood by its inventors, came to the rescue in most of the India-New Zealand matches. But in my opinion, at most times this fair calculation becomes unfair for teams. In terms of justice, it never provides an equal opportunity for both the playing teams to win. Remember the South Africa vs West Indies match in 2003. It ruined the hopes of S.A to win a World Cup title, probably their best chance then. Thus, may be we should have a system where equality based planning should be there. For example- A team batting first has scored 299/9. Match gets interrupted when the team batting second is on 189/5 in 30 overs and we have a curtailed game of 45 overs. Irrespective of the R.R, wickets in hand and other equations we may have an cut off in target as per the R.R. Hence, we may have that the team batting second, will have 270 runs to chase in 45 overs i.e @ the initial R.R of 6 r.p.o. Hence, this Casino system of Cricket should be modified.
