Enter the runs scored and balls faced (or overs × 6). The overs and run rate are calculated.
Formula
Run rate = runs ÷ (balls ÷ 6)

Overs notation
In cricket, “15.3 overs” means 15 overs and 3 balls — not 15.3 as a decimal. It equals 93 balls or 15.5 decimal overs.
Frequently asked questions
How is run rate calculated?
Run rate = runs ÷ overs. Overs must be decimal — 15.3 overs (15 overs and 3 balls) is 15.5 overs, so enter the balls (93) to avoid errors.
What is a good T20 run rate?
A rate of 8–9 runs per over is competitive in many T20 matches today; above 10 is very strong.
How do I convert overs to balls?
Balls = completed overs × 6 + extra balls. 15.3 overs = 93 balls.
