📘 About the Run Rate Calculator

Calculate the scoring rate of a cricket innings from runs and legal balls faced.

The calculator converts cricket over notation into the correct number of balls before calculating runs per over.

🧮 Formula

Balls faced
Balls = Overs × 6 + Balls
True overs
True overs = Balls ÷ 6
Run rate
Run rate = Runs ÷ True overs

Where

  • Balls faced = completed overs × 6 + balls in current over
  • True overs = balls faced ÷ 6
  • Run rate = runs scored ÷ true overs
One cricket over contains six legal balls.
