Net run rate calculator
Add each match your team has played — runs and overs for both innings — and see your NRR, worked out the way a points table does it.
How net run rate is calculated
Net run rate is the rate you score at minus the rate you concede at, across every match you've played:
NRR = (total runs scored ÷ total overs faced) − (total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled)
A positive NRR means you score faster than your opponents score against you. It's the usual tiebreaker when two teams finish level on points, which is why a big win matters more than a narrow one.
Overs are not decimals
19.4 overs means 19 overs and 4 balls — that's 19⅔ overs, or 19.667, not 19.4. Divide by the real number: 145 runs in 19.4 overs is 7.373 an over, while 145 ÷ 19.4 would give 7.474. The calculator takes overs the way a scorebook writes them and converts for you.
The all-out rule
If a team is bowled out before its overs are up, it's charged the full quota for NRR. Say Team A makes 160/6 in 20 overs and Team B is all out for 145 in 18.3. Team B is treated as having batted all 20 overs:
| Team | Scored | Conceded | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team A | 160 ÷ 20 = 8.000 | 145 ÷ 20 = 7.250 | +0.750 |
| Team B | 145 ÷ 20 = 7.250 | 160 ÷ 20 = 8.000 | −0.750 |
A team that chases a target down early is the opposite case: it's charged only the overs it actually faced, which is how a quick chase lifts NRR.
Add matches up — don't average them
Tournament NRR comes from the totals, not from averaging each match's NRR. Win one 20-over match 180 to 120 (match NRR +3.000) and lose a rain-shortened 10-over match 60 to 100 (match NRR −4.000). The average of those is −0.500, but the real NRR is (240 ÷ 30) − (220 ÷ 30) = +0.667. Longer matches carry more weight, as they should.
For rain-shortened matches, enter the overs each side was actually allotted. Abandoned matches with no result usually don't count towards NRR at all — leave them out.
