Run Rate Calculator
Current run rate and required run rate for any innings — T20, ODI or gully cricket.
Every ball counts.
Enter runs and overs to see the run rate.
How to use this tool
Type runs and overs the way the scoreboard shows them — 18.3 means 18 overs and 3 balls. Add the target and total overs to get the required run rate.
Good to know
Run rate is runs per over (6 balls). The tool converts overs to balls first, so 18.3 overs is 111 balls — not 18.3 × 6.
Step by step
- Enter the runs scored so far.
- Enter overs bowled in cricket notation (18.3 = 18 overs 3 balls).
- For a chase, enter the target and total overs (20 for T20, 50 for ODI).
- Tap Calculate run rate to see CRR, RRR, runs needed and balls left.
Run rate formulas
- Current run rate (CRR) = runs scored ÷ overs bowled.
- Required run rate (RRR) = runs needed ÷ overs remaining.
- Overs must be converted to balls first: 18.3 overs = 18 × 6 + 3 = 111 balls = 18.5 overs in decimal.
Example
A team is 145 after 18.3 overs: 145 ÷ 111 balls × 6 = 7.84 runs per over. Chasing 180 in 20 overs, they need 35 runs from 9 balls — a required rate of 23.33.
Common mistakes
- Treating 12.4 overs as 12.4 in decimal. It is 12 overs and 4 balls = 12.67 overs.
- Forgetting that the target is one more than the opponent's score (score 179 → target 180).
- In rain-shortened matches the target is revised by the DLS method — use the official revised target.
Run rate table for T20 chases

Frequently asked questions
How is run rate calculated in cricket?
Divide the runs by the overs bowled, after converting balls to a fraction of an over. 120 runs in 15.3 overs = 120 ÷ 15.5 = 7.74.
What does 12.4 overs mean?
12 overs and 4 balls, which is 76 balls or 12.67 overs in decimal.
What is a good run rate in T20?
Around 8 runs per over is par in many T20 matches; above 9–10 is a strong scoring rate.
How do I find the required run rate?
Runs needed ÷ overs left. Needing 60 off 6 overs means a required rate of 10.
