Required run rate
also: RRR · asking rate
The runs per over a chasing side still has to score to reach its target.
required run rate = runs still needed / overs remainingThe required run rate is the asking rate during a chase. Set against the current run rate, it shows whether the batting side is ahead or behind. It rises as dots pile up and falls after boundaries, and a side that needs more than a run a ball is usually in trouble.
On its own it ignores wickets: 10 an over with eight wickets in hand is a very different position from 10 an over with two. That is why win probability models use runs, balls and wickets together, and why the required rate is a place to start rather than a verdict.
Reading it as a chance of winning. The same required rate is routine early in a chase with wickets in hand and out of reach late with few left.
