Cricket Run Rate Calculator
Calculate run rate and project a final total.
About Cricket Run Rate Calculator
Overs are base-six rather than decimal, so 32.4 overs means 32 overs and 4 balls, which is 32.667 in decimal. Treating the figure as decimal inflates run rate slightly. That base-six confusion is the most common error in cricket arithmetic, and it matters in close run-chase calculations.

- Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
- These figures are estimates based on population-average formulas and are intended for training and recreational planning only. They are not medical advice. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or changing an exercise programme, particularly if you have an existing medical condition.
