Scoring & Stats

Run rate is calculated by dividing total runs by overs faced. Formula: Run Rate = Runs Scored ÷ Overs Bowled. For example, if a team scores 120 runs in 20 overs, the run rate is 120 ÷ 20 = 6.0 runs per over. Required run rate = Runs Needed ÷ Overs Remaining.

Net Run Rate is used to rank teams with equal points in tournaments. NRR = (Total runs scored ÷ Total overs faced) - (Total runs conceded ÷ Total overs bowled). A positive NRR means a team scores faster than they concede. Teams with higher NRR rank above teams with the same points.

The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method calculates revised targets for rain-affected matches. It considers "resources" - a combination of overs and wickets remaining. If the chasing team loses overs, their target is adjusted based on the resources available to both teams. The formula considers that losing wickets early is less damaging than losing them late.

Batting strike rate is runs scored per 100 balls. Formula: (Runs ÷ Balls Faced) × 100. A strike rate of 150 means 150 runs per 100 balls. Bowling strike rate is balls bowled per wicket taken. Formula: Balls Bowled ÷ Wickets Taken. Lower bowling strike rate is better (fewer balls to take a wicket).

Bowling average is runs conceded per wicket taken. Formula: Runs Conceded ÷ Wickets Taken. A lower bowling average indicates a more effective bowler. For example, a bowler with 200 runs conceded and 10 wickets has an average of 20.0.

Extras are runs scored without the batsman hitting the ball. They include: (1) Wides - ball too far from batsman, (2) No balls - illegal deliveries, (3) Byes - ball passes batsman and keeper, runs taken, (4) Leg byes - ball hits batsman's body, runs taken. Extras count towards team total but not individual scores.
