Overs as cricket writes them: 18.4 means 18 overs and 4 balls. Tick "all out" and the full quota counts, whatever the overs were. Leave abandoned or no-result games out.

Qualification maths
Assumes the other side bats its full overs when we bat first, and that we are not bowled out while chasing. Points come first in every table: NRR only splits teams level on points.
This net run rate calculator works out NRR the way tournaments do, match by match, and then answers the question that matters in the last group game: what do we need? Your side is on +0.067 and a rival on +0.250 is level on points. Bat first and make 160, and you need to keep them to 144 or fewer. Chase 150 and you need to get there within 18 overs. The free calculator does those sums for any score.
How net run rate is calculated
NRR = (total runs scored ÷ total overs faced) − (total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled)
Two rules trip people up:
- Overs are written in balls. 18.4 overs is 18 overs and 4 balls, which is 18.667 overs in the sum, not 18.4. The calculator converts it.
- All out counts the full quota. Bowled out for 132 in 19.2 overs of a T20? It goes in as 132 runs from 20 overs. Tick “all out” and it does that for you.
It’s also not the average of each match’s NRR. The runs and overs are added up first, so a big win in a short chase counts for less than you’d think. Matches with no result are left out completely.
Worked example
Three T20 games: 168/20 against 152/20, 141 in 18.4 overs chasing 140, and bowled out for 132 in 19.2 overs chasing 156. The all-out innings counts as 20 overs, so that’s 441 runs from 58.4 overs (7.517 an over) against 447 conceded in 60 overs (7.450). The NRR is +0.067. Two wins, but only just in the black, because the defeat was by 23 runs and the wins were tight.
What you need next game
Type the NRR you have to beat, then a score you might make batting first, or a target you might chase.
- Batting first: it shows the most the other side can score in their full overs for your NRR to finish above the target. You’ve also got to win, so it’s never more than your score minus one.
- Chasing: it shows the last over and ball by which you have to reach the target. Get there a ball later and the NRR falls short.
