Run rate calculator
Enter a score and the overs bowled to get the run rate. Overs use cricket notation, so 12.3 means twelve overs and three balls.
Run rate = (Runs × 6) ÷ Balls faced
How this works
Run rate is the plainest measure of scoring speed: how many runs a side is making for every six legal balls.
Because overs are written as whole overs plus balls, 12.3 is not twelve and a third. It is 75 balls. Converting to balls first is what keeps the arithmetic honest.
Projections assume the current rate holds, which it rarely does. Treat them as a reference point rather than a forecast.
Common questions
Does 12.3 overs mean 12.5 overs?
No. The digit after the decimal point counts balls, so 12.3 overs is twelve overs and three balls, which is 75 balls in total.
Do wides and no-balls count towards the overs?
They add runs but not legal balls, so they raise the run rate without moving the overs figure along.
