How to calculate Net Run Rate (NRR)?
Net run rate is an important factor in cricket. Because it is sometimes seen that the same team gets equal points in any tournament. The net run rate is then used to determine which of the two teams will go to the top of the points table. The net runrate system is now used in almost all tournaments.
Let's see today how to find out the net run rate.
Rules for finding out the net run rate.
Net run rate = batting run rate - bowling run rate.
Batting run rate.
The batting run rate of a team can be obtained by dividing the total number of runs by the team by the total number of overs they have batted.
Bowling run rate.
The same rule applies to bowling. The bowling run rate can be obtained by dividing the total number of runs spent by a team bowling with the opposing team by the total number of overs made by the opposing team.
But there is a rule here. If a team is all out before the scheduled over. However, that team is considered to have batted all over.
If the match is abandoned or in a super over, the net run rate in that match will not be calculated.
Suppose there is a T20 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians in IPL. Kolkata batted first and lost 3 wickets in 20 overs to score 175 runs. In reply, Mumbai Indians lost 4 wickets in 19 overs and collected 176 and won by 6 wickets. Now the net run rate of Mumbai Indians will be as follows.
Kalkata Knight Riders- 175-6 (20)
Mumbai Indians - 176-4 (19)
Batting run rate of Mumbai Indians team = 176 ÷ 19 = 9.2631
Bowling run rate of Mumbai Indians team = 175 ÷ 20 =8.75
Now, the Mumbai Indians team will have a net run rate,
Net run rate = batting run rate - bowling run rate
= 9.263 - 8.75 = +0.513
Suppose Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capital face off in a match in the IPL. Delhi batted first and lost 5 wickets in 20 overs to score 183 runs. In reply, Chennai Super Kings were all out for 145 in 18.5 overs.
Now, what will be the net run rate of Chennai Super Kings.
DC - 183-5 (20)
Csk - 145-10 (17.5)
- Batting run rate of Chennai Super Kings = 145 ÷ 20 = 7.25
Here Chennai batted in 17.5 overs. But if a team is all out before the allotted over, that team is considered to have batted the entire over. So instead of 17.5 overs, it has been calculated in 20 overs.
- Chennai Super Kings bowling run rate = 183 ÷ 20 = 9.15
That is, Chennai Super Kings will have a net run rate,
Net run rate = batting run rate - bowling run rate
= 7.25 - 9.15 = -1.9
