How net run rate is calculated
NRR = (total runs scored ÷ total overs faced) − (total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled), adding up all matches first. Under ICC rules, a team that is bowled out is counted as having faced its full quota of overs (50 in an ODI, 20 in a T20), not the overs it actually batted.
Example: a team scores 250 in 50 overs and concedes 220 in 50, then scores 180 in 32.4 overs chasing 179. Totals: 430 runs in 82.667 overs (5.20) and 399 runs conceded in 100 overs (3.99). NRR = +1.21.
Matches with no result are left out. When a match is reduced by rain, the reduced overs and the DLS target are used.

Frequently asked questions
Why does all out count as full overs?
It stops a team from protecting its run rate by being bowled out quickly. The ICC counts the full quota of overs for a side that is all out.
Is a positive NRR good?
Yes. Positive means the team scores faster than its opponents on average; it is used to separate teams level on points.
How do I enter 32 overs and 4 balls?
Type 32.4. The calculator treats it as 32 and 4/6 overs.
