Australian ODI Rain Rule

The Australian Rain Rule is calculated for the team batting second 
by taking the highest scoring overs of the team batting first and 
deducting it by 0.5% for each over lost.

This rule has been implemented since the 1992/93 season and is 
based on results of the 1991/92 World Cup, whereby had this rule been 
in place, the matches would have been equally shared between the
team batting first and the team batting second.
