How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the current runs scored and overs completed, using cricket notation for overs (e.g. 25.3 = 25 overs and 3 balls).
  2. 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.
  3. Review the Current Run Rate for runs scored per over so far.
  4. Check the Required Run Rate for the pace per over needed to reach the target.
  5. Use the Projected Score, Run Deficit, and Overs Remaining to see whether the batting team is on track to reach the target.

Overs Completed
Overs bowled in cricket notation (e.g. 25.3 = 25 overs and 3 balls). Max .5 for 5 balls in an over.
Target Runs
Target score to chase. Set to 0 for first innings to project final score instead.
Total Overs in Match
Total overs in the innings. 50 for ODI, 20 for T20, variable for Test cricket sessions.

What each result means

Current Run Rate
Runs scored per over so far. Good ODI rate: 5-6+.
Required Run Rate
Runs per over needed to reach the target. Only applicable when chasing a target.
Projected Score
Estimated final score if the current run rate is maintained for remaining overs.
Run Deficit
Difference between target and projected score. Negative means on track to exceed target.
Overs Remaining
Number of overs left in the innings.
