How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the current runs scored and overs completed, using cricket notation for overs (e.g. 25.3 = 25 overs and 3 balls).
- Enter the total overs in the match (50 for ODI, 20 for T20) and the target runs to chase — set target runs to 0 to just project a first-innings score.
- Review the Current Run Rate for runs scored per over so far.
- Check the Required Run Rate for the pace per over needed to reach the target.
- Use the Projected Score, Run Deficit, and Overs Remaining to see whether the batting team is on track to reach the target.
