Frequently asked questions
How is run rate calculated in cricket?
Runs divided by overs faced. 145 runs in 28.3 overs (28 overs and 3 balls) is a run rate of about 5.09 per over.
What is required run rate?
The runs per over a chasing team still needs: remaining runs divided by remaining overs. It rises as a chase falls behind.
