Cricket Run Rate Calculator
How fast is this innings going, and what will it reach? Enter runs, overs and target for both rates.
Current run rate
How it works
Balls = overs × 6 (30.3 overs = 183 balls) Current run rate = runs ÷ (balls played ÷ 6) Required run rate = runs needed ÷ (balls left ÷ 6) Projected score = runs + current rate × overs left
Worked example: 180 runs in 30 overs with a target of 250 and 20 overs left gives a current rate of 6.00, a required rate of (250 − 180) ÷ 20 = 3.50, and a projected score of 180 + 6.00 × 20 = 300. Note the overs format: 30.3 overs means 30 overs and 3 balls, which is 183 balls, so 180 runs in 30.3 overs is a rate of 5.90, not 180 ÷ 30.3.
Frequently asked questions
How do I enter overs like 30.3?
As cricket writes them: the part after the point is balls, not a decimal. 30.3 means 30 overs and 3 balls (183 balls), and the calculator converts it before dividing.
What is the difference between current and required run rate?
Current rate is runs per over scored so far; required rate is runs per over still needed to reach the target. Chasing teams watch the required rate climb or fall as wickets and overs pass.
How is the projected score worked out?
By assuming the current rate continues for the overs left. It ignores wickets in hand and batting conditions, so treat it as a guide, not a prediction.
Does this use Duckworth-Lewis-Stern?
No. DLS adjusts targets when overs are lost to weather, which needs match tables. This calculator works with the target as set, before any DLS adjustment.
