At 102/2 after 11.2 overs, the match was paused again due to rain. At that point, Australia's par score was 72, making them 28 runs ahead according to the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. This calculation method, developed to address rain interruptions in limited-overs cricket, proved crucial in determining the outcome of the match.
