Run rate is the average number of runs scored per over. Current run rate = Total runs / Overs faced. Required run rate = Runs needed / Overs remaining.
Net Run Rate (NRR) is used to rank teams with equal points in tournaments. NRR = (runs scored/overs faced) - (runs conceded/overs bowled).
Byes are extras scored when the ball passes the batsman and wicketkeeper without touching the bat, allowing the batsmen to take runs.
Leg byes are extras scored when the ball deflects off the batsman's body (not the bat) and the batsmen take runs. The batsman must have attempted a shot or tried to avoid the ball.
A free hit is awarded after a front-foot no-ball in limited-overs cricket. The batsman cannot be dismissed except by run out, stumping, or hitting the ball twice.
LBW (Leg Before Wicket) is a mode of dismissal where the ball would have hit the stumps but instead hits the batsman's leg or body. The ball must pitch in line or outside off stump.
