About Cricket Net Run Rate Calculator

Net run rate is the run rate scored across all overs faced minus the run rate conceded across all overs bowled, aggregated over the whole tournament rather than averaged per match. Because it aggregates, a single heavy win moves NRR far more than several narrow ones, which is why teams chase small targets quickly.

Formula

Net run rate

NRR = total runs scored / total overs faced - total runs conceded / total overs bowled

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
