A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Enter each innings runs and legal balls.
  2. Calculate runs per over for both innings.
  3. Subtract the second rate from the first.

Formula and input

Rate = runs ÷ (legal balls ÷ 6); net run rate = innings 1 rate − innings 2 rate. Enter actual legal-ball counts, not cricket over notation such as 20.2.

Limitations

This direct comparison does not apply all-out over allowances, innings adjustments, abandoned matches, or DLS and competition-specific rules. Use the applicable competition rules for official standings.
