IPL 500th game – miscomputation – abandoned games without toss are taken into account while computing

IPL 500th game – miscomputation – abandoned games without toss are taken into account while computing

We are reproducing an article posted on this portal in IPL 2015 when commentators and the statistician assisting the commentators on the day of the match miscounted the  number of IPL games without taking into account the number of six abandoned games.

Some of the Commentators while commenting on IPL had labeled the second game of 03rd May 2015 – between Rajasthan and Delhi at Mum-BS as 500th IPL Game. It’s a wrong computation.  They have counted the fixtures of IPL and not the actual games. There were six abandoned games which should not be taken into account as these games were abandoned without a ball being bowled. Hence the game under question was 494th game of IPL. Furnishing below the table in which I have arrived second game of 03.05.15 as 494th IPL game

If second game of 03.05.15 was the 500th game, then the total number of matches played should have been 1000 {500 x 2}.

Six abandoned games are not taken into account in the captioned table. These six games would be 12 games in the table as they get distributed to two teams and hence 1000 – 12 = 988.  Half of 988 is 494 which is the actual number of matches played in IPL as of 03.05.15
