How to use the Net Run Rate (NRR) Calculator
- Pick the format (T20, ODI or T10).
- Enter runs scored, overs faced, runs conceded and overs bowled for each match.
- Tick “We were” if your side was bowled out, and “They were” if the opposition was. The full quota of overs is then used.
- Add more matches to get the tournament NRR.
What is net run rate?
Net run rate (NRR) ranks teams that finish level on points in a tournament. It measures how much faster a team scores than its opponents score against it, across all matches so far.
The all-out rule
If a team is bowled out before using its overs, the calculation uses the full quota of overs (20 in T20, 50 in ODI), not the overs actually faced. This stops a team from improving NRR by collapsing quickly. When a chasing team wins, the actual overs it took are used. Matches with no result are ignored.
Worked example
Match 1: scored 180 off 20, conceded 165 off 20. Match 2: scored 150 off 19.2, conceded 152 off 20. Totals: 330 runs off 39.2 overs (8.390 per over) and 317 conceded off 40 overs (7.925 per over). NRR = 8.390 − 7.925 = +0.465. Overs are converted to balls, so 39.2 overs is 39.333 in decimals.
Tips for qualification scenarios
- Enter your current totals as one row, then add a hypothetical result as a second row.
- Big wins in few overs help most: winning a chase faster improves your overs faced.
- Check your tournament's playing conditions, since rules such as DLS-affected matches differ.
Frequently asked questions
How is NRR calculated in cricket?
NRR is runs scored per over minus runs conceded per over across all completed matches. Add all runs and all overs, then divide.
What overs are used if a team is all out?
The full quota of overs for the format is used for the batting innings, for example 20 overs in a T20 even if the side was bowled out in 15.
Is a positive NRR good?
Yes. Positive means the team scores faster than it concedes. It is used as the first tie-breaker between teams level on points in most tournaments.
Does this calculator handle DLS matches?
No. For rain-affected matches, enter the revised target and overs as your organiser applies them, or check the tournament rules.
