Net run rate
also: NRR
A team's run rate when batting minus the run rate it conceded, used to break ties on points in a league table.
NRR = (total runs scored / total overs faced) - (total runs conceded / total overs bowled)Net run rate rewards winning by a lot and losing by a little. It is calculated over a whole tournament from every match played, and the side with the higher figure is placed above the other when two teams finish level on points. A team all out is counted as having faced its full allocation of overs, not the overs it actually lasted.
Matches with no result are left out, and matches shortened by rain use the revised target and the overs actually available. That is why a net run rate calculated from raw scores can differ from the published one in a weather-affected group.
Dividing total runs by total overs for an all-out innings as played. The rules count the full quota, so a collapse for 90 in 15 overs counts as 90 in 20.
