Net Run Rate (NRR) Calculator for Cricket Tournaments

Add each match your team played to get the tournament net run rate.

How to use the Net Run Rate Calculator

  1. Set the overs per innings for your tournament.
  2. For each match, enter runs scored and overs faced, and runs conceded and overs bowled.
  3. Mark 'All out' where a side was bowled out – full overs are then used.
  4. Press Calculate NRR.

What is Net Run Rate?

Net run rate is the standard tie-breaker in cricket league tables. It compares how fast a team scores with how fast it concedes runs across the tournament.

NRR = (total runs scored ÷ total overs faced) − (total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled)

Important rules

  • Overs are written as overs.balls – 19.4 means 19 overs and 4 balls, i.e. 19.667 overs, not 19.4.
  • If a team is all out, the full quota of overs is used for the calculation, not the overs actually faced.
  • Abandoned matches with no result are usually left out.

Example

Team A scores 180 in 20 overs and restricts the opponent to 160 in 20 overs: NRR = 9.000 − 8.000 = +1.000.

Organisers of gully, college and corporate tournaments can use this to settle the points table quickly and fairly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enter 18 overs and 3 balls?

Type 18.3. The tool converts it to 18.5 overs automatically.

What happens when a team is all out?

Choose Yes in 'All out'. The full overs quota is then used, as per standard cricket rules.

Can NRR be negative?

Yes. A negative NRR means the team concedes runs faster than it scores them.
