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

$= (50) \times (2.6)$

= 130

Hence, the team batting second scored 130 runs.
