Answer: 1 Mark
Given that
Team 'A' scored 260 runs in 50 overs.
So, run rate of the team batting first =(260/50)
= 5.2 runs per over
The team batting second scored at half the run rate of the team batting first
Run rate of team the batting second
= (5.2/2)
= 2.6 runs per over
Runs scored by the team batting second
=(50)×(2.6)
= 130
Hence, the team batting second scored 130 runs.
