What is the Cricket Score Predictor?
TV broadcasts often show "projected score" at different run rates. The cricket score predictor does the same: from the current score and overs it projects the final total at the current rate and at other rates you choose.
It is a simple projection, not a guarantee; wickets in hand change everything. To see the current rate alone use the Run Rate Calculator; for the chase that follows, use the Cricket Target Calculator.
How to use the Cricket Score Predictor
- Enter the current score and overs.
- Choose the total overs (20 or 50).
- Read projected totals at the current rate and other rates.
Formula
Projected total = current score + run rate × overs remaining
Example
On 86 after 10 overs in a T20 (CRR 8.6), the projection is 172 at the current rate, 166 at 8 per over and 186 at 10 per over.
Overs and balls: 4.3 is not 4.3
In cricket, 4.3 overs means 4 overs and 3 balls, which is 27 balls or 4.5 "real" overs, not 4.3. All our cricket calculators convert overs to balls correctly (overs × 6 + balls). Enter overs in the usual cricket way and the maths is handled for you.
Why projections change
Teams usually accelerate in the last overs (death overs), so a T20 side scoring 8 an over at the halfway mark often finishes higher than the simple projection. Early wickets have the opposite effect.
More cricket calculators
Cricket stats are linked: a team's run rate decides its net run rate, and each batter's strike rate and each bowler's economy add up to the team total. Use these calculators together:
- Run rate: runs per over so far.
- Required run rate: what the chasing side needs.
- Net run rate (NRR): tournament tie-breaker.
- Strike rate: runs per 100 balls.
- Economy rate: runs conceded per over.
- Batting average: runs per dismissal.
- Bowling average: runs per wicket.
- Target calculator: runs and balls needed.
Frequently asked questions

Current score plus the run rate multiplied by the overs remaining.
Is the projection accurate?
It is a simple estimate; wickets and death-over hitting change the final total.
Can I choose my own rates?
Yes, enter any run rates to compare.
Does it work for ODIs?
Yes, set total overs to 50.
Does it consider wickets?
No, it projects from run rate only.
