Net Run Rate Calculator (Cricket)
Cricket net run rate from runs and overs both ways, with overs in scorecard notation and a bowled-out side charged its full quota.
Net run rate to three places, the run rate scored and conceded, and the overs each side is charged — the full quota when bowled out — for one match or tournament totals.
Example: 180 in 20 overs, then the opponents bowled out for 150 in 18.4: all out counts as 20 overs, so NRR is 9.0 − 7.5 = +1.5.
Runs an over,
both ways.
How net run rate is built, why a bowled-out side is charged the full quota, how scorecard overs convert, and how tournament totals work.
The formula
Net run rate = runs scored ÷ overs faced − runs conceded ÷ overs bowled. A positive figure means a side scored faster than it conceded; it breaks ties on points in most tournaments.
Overs are sixes
Scorecards write 18.4 for eighteen overs and four balls. That is 18⅔ overs, not 18.4, so the page converts balls ÷ 6 before dividing; a digit of 6 or more after the point is rejected.
Bowled out
Under the ICC playing conditions, a side that is bowled out is charged its full quota of overs — 20 in T20, 50 in one-day cricket — however early it fell. That is why a big defeat costs more than the margin alone suggests.
Tournaments
For a whole tournament, total the runs and the overs across matches (counting each all-out innings as the full quota) and enter the totals with “bowled out” left at no. Rain-reduced matches use the revised overs; DLS targets are not calculated here. Inputs stay in your browser; the same anonymous usage counts as the rest of the site apply.
