What is the Net Run Rate (NRR) Calculator?
When teams finish level on points, net run rate (NRR) usually decides who goes through to the semi-finals. The calculator adds runs scored and overs faced across all matches and subtracts the opposition's run rate.
Add one row per match. If a team is bowled out, its innings counts as the full quota of overs, as per ICC rules. For a single innings, the Run Rate Calculator is quicker.
How to use the Net Run Rate (NRR) Calculator
- Add a row for each match.
- Enter runs scored and overs faced.
- Enter runs conceded and overs bowled.
- Tick all out where needed.
- Read the tournament NRR.
Formula
NRR = (total runs scored ÷ total overs faced) − (total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled)
Example
A team scores 320 in 40 overs and concedes 300 in 40 overs over two T20s: NRR = 8.00 − 7.50 = +0.500.
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.
NRR rules to remember
- If a team is all out, the full quota of overs (20 or 50) is used.
- In DLS-shortened matches, adjusted overs and targets are used.
- No-result matches are excluded.
- NRR is a total over the tournament, not an average of match NRRs.

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.
- 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.
- Score predictor: projected final total.
Frequently asked questions
How is net run rate calculated?
Run rate scored minus run rate conceded across all matches in the tournament.
What happens if a team is all out?
Its innings counts as the full quota of overs.
Can NRR be negative?
Yes, when a team concedes runs faster than it scores them.
Is NRR the average of match NRRs?
No. It uses total runs and overs across all matches.
Do abandoned matches count?
No, matches with no result are excluded.
