What does this calculator mean?
Run rate is the simplest way to measure scoring speed in limited-overs cricket. The run rate calculator divides total runs by overs faced and gives you the average runs per over.
It handles part-overs correctly, so 18.4 overs is treated as 18 overs and 4 balls rather than 18.4 decimal overs.
How to use the run rate calculator
- Enter total runs and overs bowled.

Formula used
Example
A team scores 150 runs in 20 overs. Run rate = 150 ÷ 20 = 7.50 runs per over.
