Required Run Rate Calculator (Cricket)

How to use this calculator

Enter the target, the current score and the balls remaining. Runs needed, required run rate and runs per ball are calculated.

Formula

RRR = (target − score) ÷ (balls remaining ÷ 6)

Example

Chasing 181, the team is 92 with 9 overs (54 balls) left:

• Need 89 runs
• Required rate = 89 ÷ 9 = 9.89 per over

Frequently asked questions

How is the required run rate calculated?

Required run rate = runs still needed ÷ overs remaining.

What is the target?

One more than the opposition's total — the score needed to win.

What about rain-reduced matches?

Revised targets use the DLS method, which is not covered by this calculator.
