Net run rate calculator.
Add each match your team played and get an aggregated net run rate, with the all-out rule applied and partial overs converted from balls rather than read as decimals.

Net run rate
+0.050
3 matches counted
- Runs scored
- 414
- Overs faced
- 60
- Runs conceded
- 411
- Overs bowled
- 60
- Run rate for
- 6.900
- Run rate against
- 6.850
Without the all-out rule this would read +0.343, a difference of 0.293. That gap is what a spreadsheet dividing by overs actually faced gets wrong.
How does this calculator work?
This calculator aggregates net run rate across every match you enter: runs scored divided by overs faced, minus runs conceded divided by overs bowled. When a side is marked all out, its full allocated overs are used as the divisor instead of the overs actually faced, which is the rule most manual calculations miss.
The formula it applies
Aggregated across every match entered, not averaged per match. A high-scoring game therefore counts for more than a low-scoring one, which matches the standard used in professional competitions.
The two rules it gets right
- The all-out rule. Tick the box and the side’s full allocated overs are used as the divisor instead of the overs actually faced. 90 all out in 14 of 20 overs is 90 ÷ 20, giving 4.50 rather than 6.43.
- Overs are sixths. Enter overs and balls separately and 17 overs 3 balls is converted to 17.5 for the arithmetic. Dividing by 17.3 is wrong and errs the same way every time.
What to leave out
Matches abandoned with no result are excluded from net run rate entirely, both runs and overs. Do not enter them with zeros: a zero innings is not the same as no innings and it will drag the figure down.
Walkovers are best excluded too. Inventing a notional margin means a made-up scoreline eventually decides a qualification place. Points table handling of walkovers.
Going further
The full formula with worked examples and the rain-affected case is on the net run rate guide. To build a whole standings table rather than one team’s figure, use the points table calculator, which applies the same arithmetic across every team at once.
NRR calculator FAQ
Why do I need to mark a team as all out?
Because it changes the divisor. A side bowled out for 90 in 14 overs of a 20-over match has its net run rate computed over 20 overs, not 14. Forgetting the flag inflates that team’s run rate substantially and is the single most common NRR error.
How should I enter 17.3 overs?
Enter it as overs and balls. The calculator converts 17 overs and 3 balls to 17.5 for the arithmetic, because three balls is half an over. Typing 17.3 into a spreadsheet and dividing by it is wrong.
Should abandoned matches be included?
No. A match abandoned with no result is excluded from net run rate entirely, both runs and overs. Leave it out of the list rather than entering it with zeros.
Is net run rate averaged per match or aggregated?
Aggregated. All runs scored across the tournament are divided by all overs faced, rather than averaging each match’s individual rate. This calculator aggregates, which matches the standard used in professional competitions.
