Cricket NRR over a tournament, with the ICC all-out rule and overs.balls notation
Runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Checked against sources on 29 Sept 2026.Net run rate is runs scored per over minus runs conceded per over, across every match with a result. A side bowled out is charged its full 20 or 50 overs. Overs are overs.balls, so 19.4 means 19 overs and 4 balls. Scoring 330 in 40 overs and conceding 321 in 39.2 gives +0.089.
Rates and rules read from ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 Playing Conditions, clause 16.10.7 on 29 Sept 2026; they may have changed since.
Keep "Net run rate" selected under "Work out".
For each match with a result, enter "Runs scored", "Overs faced", "Runs conceded" and "Overs bowled", writing overs as overs.balls such as 19.4.
Tick "All out" or "Opponent all out" where a side was bowled out, so that innings counts as the full "Overs per side".
Press "Add a match" for each further game in the tournament.
Read the "NRR", check it in "The working" tab, then press "Share result" to copy a link.
Net run rate (NRR) separates teams level on points in a cricket tournament table. This calculator works it out from each match's runs and overs, and has a second mode for the current and required run rate in a chase.
The formula. Add up every run the team scored and divide by every over it faced; do the same for runs conceded and overs bowled; subtract the second rate from the first. The ICC's playing conditions for the Men's T20 World Cup 2026, clause 16.10.7, define it this way and add the rule most home-made spreadsheets miss: when a team is all out before its full quota, its innings counts as the full quota of overs, not the overs it lasted. Tick "all out" for that innings and the calculator charges 20 overs (or whatever the match allowed). The rule works both ways, so bowling the opponent out charges them the full quota too, which helps your NRR.
Overs are overs and balls. A scorecard's 19.4 is 19 overs and 4 balls, or 118 balls. As a number of overs that is 19.667, not 19.4. The calculator works in balls throughout and refuses 19.6, because there is no sixth ball after the point; it becomes 20.0.
Shortened matches. Each match has its own overs per side, so a rain-reduced game can be entered with its revised quota. Where Duckworth/Lewis/Stern decided a match, clause 16.10.7 sets the runs and overs credited to each side; enter those figures. Matches without a result and Super Overs do not count.
Chase mode. Enter the target, the score and the overs bowled to see the current run rate, the runs needed, the balls left and the required rate.
The calculator follows the ICC rule; IPL and other leagues publish their own playing conditions, so check yours. It does not predict the margin needed to overtake another team.
Total runs scored divided by total overs faced, minus total runs conceded divided by total overs bowled, across all matches with a result. A team that scored 330 in 40 overs and conceded 321 in 39.2 overs has 8.250 minus 8.161, an NRR of +0.089. Overs are converted to balls first.
Under ICC playing condition 16.10.7, a side bowled out before its full quota is charged the full quota. All out for 150 in 18.4 overs of a T20 counts as 150 runs in 20 overs, a rate of 7.50 rather than 8.04. Bowling an opponent out likewise charges them 20 overs.
Nineteen complete overs and four balls. An over has six balls, so the figure after the point runs from 0 to 5 and never reaches 6. As a plain number 19.4 overs is 118 balls, or 19.667 overs. Dividing runs by 19.4 instead of 19.667 overstates the run rate.
Subtract the current score from the target to get the runs needed, count the balls left, and divide the runs needed by the balls left times six. Needing 85 runs with 45 balls to go is 85 × 6 ÷ 45, a required rate of 11.33 runs an over.
Matches with a result count, including those decided by Duckworth/Lewis/Stern; abandoned matches with no result do not. For a shortened match, set its overs per side to the revised figure. For a DLS result, ICC 16.10.7 credits specific runs and overs, such as the par score, so enter those.
Most leagues follow the ICC method, but each competition publishes its own playing conditions, and this calculator was checked only against the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 rules. Check your tournament's rules for the all-out treatment and for how abandoned or forfeited matches are handled before relying on a close table.
Rates and rules change; check the source before you rely on a figure.
