What this calculator does
Net run rate (cricket) works out the run-rate differential used to separate teams level on points. Enter your own figures above and the answer updates as you type: nothing is fixed in the code, so the result reflects exactly the numbers you supply.
The formula this calculator evaluates is printed under the tool and explained below, so you can check the working by hand or reuse it in a spreadsheet.
The formula
FormulaNRR = (runs scored / overs faced) − (runs conceded / overs bowled), overs entered as overs.balls (e.g. 46.3 = 46 overs 3 balls)

Worked examples
Every figure in the tables below is produced by this page’s own calculator at build time, so the numbers and the tool always agree. Select any row to load that scenario.
How the answer changes with runs scored
Every other input is held at the calculator’s starting values while runs scored varies. Select any row to load that scenario into the calculator.
