Last updated: 2026-10-30

> The net run rate calculator finds a team's NRR in a tournament from total runs scored and overs faced, and runs conceded and overs bowled – using cricket over notation (e.g. 45.3 overs).

## Inputs

- Runs scored
- Overs faced
- Runs conceded
- Overs bowled

## Results

- Run rate scored
- Run rate conceded
- Net run rate

## Formula

```
NRR = runs scored ÷ overs faced − runs conceded ÷ overs bowled (overs in balls ÷ 6)
```

## Explanation

Net run rate separates teams level on points. It rewards winning big and losing narrowly. If a team is bowled out, the full quota of overs counts as faced.

### How to use the Net Run Rate Calculator

- **Runs scored**
- **Overs faced**
- **Runs conceded**
- **Overs bowled**

Results update as you type, every field has its own unit menu, and everything is calculated in your browser.

### How it works

Enter tournament totals. If a team was bowled out, enter its full overs quota.

### Tips

- Overs like 47.3 mean 47 overs and 3 balls – the calculators handle this.
- Use the same format (Test, ODI, T20) when comparing players.
- Not-out innings don't count as dismissals in averages.
- Everything is calculated in your browser.

### Common mistakes to avoid

- Treating 47.3 overs as 47.3 decimal overs.
- Counting not-outs as dismissals.
- Comparing T20 strike rates with Test strike rates.

### What each result means

- **Run rate scored** = [Runs scored]÷((floor([Overs faced])×6 + round(([Overs faced] - floor([Overs faced]))×10))÷6)
- **Run rate conceded** = [Runs conceded]÷((floor([Overs bowled])×6 + round(([Overs bowled] - floor([Overs bowled]))×10))÷6)
- **Net run rate** = [Run rate scored] - [Run rate conceded]

### Example values

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

## Worked example

Inputs — Runs scored: 1,250; Overs faced: 185.3; Runs conceded: 1,180; Overs bowled: 190.

Results — Run rate scored = 6.739; Run rate conceded = 6.211; **Net run rate = 0.528**.

## Key terms

- **Net run rate**: Difference between scoring and conceding rates.

## FAQ

**What does a positive NRR mean?**
The team scores faster than its opponents on average.

**Why use full overs if bowled out?**
So a team isn't rewarded for being bowled out quickly.

**How do 45.3 overs count?**
45 overs and 3 balls = 45.5 overs.

**What about rain-reduced matches?**
Revised targets and overs are used.
