How does VJD system work? 

VJD system takes into account statistics from previous games. whereas DLS method does t take into account a team's recent form. DLS method assumes that scoring rate of teams continues to increase as innings go on, and fixes target score accordingly. However, VJD system divides innings into phases. It assumes a high scoring rate in first few overs, considering fielding restrictions, assumes a drop in rate in middle overs, and assumes ar rise in slog overs.
