Strike Rate Calculator
Batting strike rate, bowling strike rate, economy and average in one place.
How fast? How sharp?
Pick batter or bowler and enter the numbers.
How to use this tool
For a batter enter runs and balls faced. For a bowler enter runs conceded, overs (like 3.4) and wickets.
Good to know
Batting strike rate is runs per 100 balls. Bowling strike rate is balls per wicket — lower is better.

Formulas
| Stat | Formula | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batting strike rate | runs ÷ balls × 100 | 56 runs off 40 balls | 140.00 |
| Bowling strike rate | balls bowled ÷ wickets | 24 balls, 2 wickets | 12.00 |
| Economy rate | runs conceded ÷ overs | 32 runs in 4 overs | 8.00 |
| Bowling average | runs conceded ÷ wickets | 32 runs, 2 wickets | 16.00 |
What is a good strike rate?
- T20 batting: 130+ is good, 150+ is explosive.
- ODI batting: 85–100 is solid for top-order batters.
- Test batting: 50–60 is typical.
- Bowling: a lower strike rate is better — in T20 a wicket every 15–18 balls is very good; an economy under 7.5 is tight.
Batting average vs strike rate
Batting average is runs per dismissal; strike rate is speed of scoring. A batter with average 40 and strike rate 140 is valuable in any format. Use the average calculator for averages across matches, and the run rate calculator for team chases.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate strike rate in cricket?
For batters: runs ÷ balls faced × 100. 45 runs off 30 balls = 150.
What is bowling strike rate?
Balls bowled per wicket. 4 overs (24 balls) with 2 wickets = strike rate 12.
What is economy rate?
Runs conceded per over. 32 runs in 4 overs = economy 8.00.
Why does the tool show — for bowling average?
If a bowler has no wickets, average and strike rate cannot be calculated (division by zero).
