How to calculate net run rate in cricket
Net run rate in cricket is calculated by subtracting the run rate conceded from the run rate scored. For exact calculation, convert overs to balls first and then divide runs by balls, multiplied by 6.
Net run rate = scoring rate − conceded rate.
((Runs scored ÷ Balls faced) × 6) − ((Runs conceded ÷ Balls bowled) × 6)
Example Calculation
If a team scores at 7.20 and concedes at 6.78, its net run rate is 0.42.
7.20 − 6.78 = 0.42
