How it works
Take the runs scored divided by overs faced, then subtract the runs conceded divided by overs bowled. A positive figure means the team scores faster than it concedes.
Cricket writes overs with the digit after the point counting balls, so 48.3 means 48 overs and 3 balls. Each ball is a sixth of an over, so the calculator turns 48.3 into 48.5 before it divides.
Worked example
Scoring 245 runs in 50 overs and conceding 230 in 48.3 overs gives a net run rate of 0.158.
Questions
Why is 48.3 not 48.3 overs?
The digit after the point counts balls, not tenths of an over, so 48.3 means 48 overs and 3 balls.
How are bowled-out sides counted?
In the usual rule, a side that is bowled out is credited with its full allotted overs, so enter the full overs for it.
What if a side has not batted or bowled?
A side with no overs has no figure yet, because the calculation divides by overs.
