Net Run Rate Calculator

Enter each match a team has played in the competition: runs scored and overs faced, runs conceded and overs bowled, and whether either side was bowled out. The calculator applies the same rules tournament organisers use and shows each step, so you can check a points table yourself.

The calculator runs in your browser and needs JavaScript.

How the calculation works

Net run rate is the team's scoring rate across all its matches minus the rate it conceded: total runs scored ÷ total overs faced − total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled. Totals are added up across every match first and divided once at the end. It is not an average of each match's net run rate, which gives a different answer.

Two rules are applied automatically. If a side is bowled out, it is treated as having faced its full quota of overs, so tick the box for that innings and the calculator uses 20 or 50 overs instead of the overs actually faced. And overs are counted in balls: 41.3 means 41 overs and 3 balls, which is 41.5 overs in the division, not 41.3.

What the calculator does not do

• Rain-affected matches decided by DLS are credited differently. The side batting first is treated as having scored one run fewer than the revised target, from the revised number of overs the chasing side was set (or the DLS par score if play was abandoned), while the chasing side keeps the runs and overs it actually made. Enter those adjusted figures by hand if you want to include such a match. The DLS guide explains revised targets.
• No-result matches are left out of net run rate entirely, so do not enter them.
• Some competitions publish their own variations (for example how forfeits are treated). The competition's playing conditions always take precedence.
