How to use the Run Rate Calculator (CRR & Required Run Rate)
- Choose T20, ODI, T10 or type the innings length for a custom match.
- Enter runs scored and overs bowled. Write 14.3 for 14 overs and 3 balls.
- Add a target if the team is chasing to see the required run rate.
- Read the scoreboard and the table of final scores at different run rates.
What is run rate in cricket?
Run rate is the average number of runs a team scores per over. The current run rate (CRR) tells you how fast a team has scored so far. The required run rate (RRR) tells the chasing team how fast it must score from now on to reach the target before the overs run out.
Formulas used
CRR = runs scored ÷ overs bowled
RRR = (target − runs scored) ÷ overs remaining
Projected score = runs + CRR × overs remaining
Overs are converted to balls first, because 14.3 overs means 14 overs and 3 balls (87 balls), not 14.3 decimal overs. This calculator does that conversion for you.
Worked example
A team chases 180 in a 20-over match and is 112/3 after 14.0 overs. Its CRR is 112 ÷ 14 = 8.00. It needs 68 more runs from 36 balls (6.0 overs), so the RRR is 68 ÷ 6 = 11.33. If the team keeps scoring at 8.00 it finishes on 112 + 8 × 6 = 160, which is 20 short.
How to read the numbers
- If RRR is below CRR, the chasing side is ahead of the rate.
- An RRR above about 12 in T20 or 8 in ODI usually needs boundaries and a set batter.
- Projected score is a simple straight-line estimate. Real innings speed up at the end, so treat it as a guide.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate run rate in cricket?
Divide total runs by overs faced, converting overs to balls first. A team on 96 after 12.0 overs has a run rate of 96 ÷ 12 = 8.00.
What is a good run rate in T20?
Modern T20 sides aim for 8 to 10 runs per over on average, with 9 or more considered strong. Rates vary a lot by ground and conditions.
How is required run rate different from current run rate?
CRR looks backwards at what has been scored. RRR looks forwards at what is needed to win, using the target, runs scored and overs left.
How do I enter partial overs?
Use the cricket format: 14.3 means 14 overs and 3 balls. The digit after the dot can only be 0 to 5.
