> This cricket calculator finds a batter’s strike rate (runs per 100 balls), batting average, and a team’s run rate per over, including the required run rate in a chase.

## Inputs

- Batter runs
- Balls faced
- Times out
- Team runs
- Overs bowled (e.g. 17.3)
- Target
- Total overs in innings

## Results

- Strike rate
- Batting average
- Balls bowled
- Current run rate
- Required run rate

## Formula

```
Strike rate = runs ÷ balls × 100
Run rate = runs ÷ overs
Required rate = runs needed ÷ overs left
```

## Explanation

Strike rate matters most in limited-overs cricket, where scoring quickly wins matches.

### How to use the Cricket Strike Rate and Run Rate Calculator

- **Batter runs**
- **Balls faced**
- **Times out**
- **Team runs**
- **Overs bowled (e.g. 17.3)**
- **Target**
- **Total overs in innings**

Results update as you type, and every field accepts the units shown in its menu.

### How it works

Overs are converted to balls (6 per over) so partial overs are handled correctly.

### What each result means

- **Strike rate** = [Batter runs]÷[Balls faced]×100
- **Balls bowled** = floor([Overs bowled (e.g. 17.3)])×6 + round(mod([Overs bowled (e.g. 17.3)], 1)×10)
- **Current run rate** = [Team runs]÷([Balls bowled]÷6)
- **Required run rate** = ([Target] - [Team runs])÷(([Total overs in innings]×6 - [Balls bowled])÷6)

### Example values

How the main result changes when **Batter runs** changes and everything else stays at the example values above:

## Worked example

Inputs — Batter runs: 78; Balls faced: 54; Times out: 1; Team runs: 165; Overs bowled (e.g. 17.3): 17.3; Target: 190; Total overs in innings: 20.

Results — **Strike rate = 144.44**; Batting average = 78; Balls bowled = 105; Current run rate = 9.43; Required run rate = 10.

## FAQ

**How are overs like 17.3 counted?**
17 overs and 3 balls, which is 105 balls, not 17.3 × 6.

**What is net run rate?**
Runs per over scored minus runs per over conceded across a tournament.

**What formula does the Cricket Strike Rate and Run Rate Calculator use?**
Strike rate = runs ÷ balls × 100.
