Cricket Net Run Rate (NRR) & Required Run Rate Calculator
Calculate net run rate for any tournament table and the required run rate in a chase.
How to use: Enter runs scored and overs faced, then runs conceded and overs bowled (use 19.4 for 19 overs and 4 balls). For a chase, add the target, current score and overs left.
How to use the Cricket NRR Calculator
Net run rate = (runs scored ÷ overs faced) − (runs conceded ÷ overs bowled), using totals from all matches in the tournament. Overs are written in cricket notation, so 19.4 means 19 overs and 4 balls (19.667 overs), not 19.4. The calculator converts this for you.
One important rule: if a team is bowled out before its full quota, the full quota of overs (for example 20 in a T20 or 50 in an ODI) is used for that innings, not the overs actually faced. Add those adjusted figures to the totals before you enter them. Matches with no result are usually left out of NRR.
Worked example: a team scored 320 runs in 40 overs and conceded 300 runs in 40 overs over two T20s. Its run rate for is 8.000 and against is 7.500, so NRR = +0.500.
For a chase, enter the target, the current score and the overs left. The required run rate is runs needed ÷ overs left: needing 62 off 8.2 overs (50 balls) means 7.44 an over. Use it during India’s tour of New Zealand or any league to see what your team needs to qualify.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good NRR?
Any positive NRR means a team scores faster than its opponents. Close points tables are often decided by gaps of 0.1 or less.
How do I enter 19 overs and 4 balls?
Type 19.4. The calculator treats it as 19 + 4/6 overs.
What if a team is all out?
Use the full quota of overs (20 or 50) for that innings when adding up overs faced.
Is NRR calculated per match or overall?
Overall: add all runs and all overs across the tournament, then apply the formula once.
