Two T20 matches, one all out
For: 320 runs in 40 overs (the all-out innings counts 20) = 8. Against: 291 in 38.2 overs = 7.591. NRR 0.409.

8 scored an over, minus 7.591 conceded.
How we got this
- For: 320 runs in 40.0 overs = 8
- Against: 291 runs in 38.2 overs = 7.591
- 8 − 7.591 = 0.409
- All-out innings are charged the full quota.
| # | Team | Pts | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rival 1 | 4 | +0.85 |
| 2 | Rival 2 | 2 | +0.62 |
| 3 | Your team | 2 | +0.409 |
| 4 | Rival 3 | 2 | -0.4 |
Score 170 and win by at least 35 runs (hold them to 135 or fewer) to pass Rival 1's NRR of 0.85. Assumes Rival 1's NRR does not change.
Using NRR in the last week of a league
NRR only matters when teams finish level on points. Then a big win, or a quick chase, can be worth as much as a result.
Big chases depend on the asking rate: see the required run rate calculator to plan one.

What this calculator does not account for
- Rain-affected matches, where the revised overs and target are used.
- No-result and abandoned matches, which usually do not count toward NRR.
- Tournament-specific rules, which can change how NRR is used or calculated.
How this is calculated
Formula: Net run rate
NRR =runs scored × 6 ÷ balls faced − runs conceded × 6 ÷ balls bowledWhat the symbols mean
- runs scored, concededTotals across every match that counts.
- balls faced, bowledLegal balls, or the full quota when that innings was all out.
Good to know
- Add up the totals first, then divide. Averaging each match's NRR gives the wrong answer.
- Tables rank on points first, and use NRR to separate teams level on points.

Worked examples
Each example is worked out by the same code as the calculator above.
110 all out in 16.4, chased in 16.4
110 ÷ 20 = 5.5 (full quota), 111 ÷ 16.667 = 6.66. NRR -1.16.

What is the all-out rule?
If a side is bowled out before its overs are up, it is treated as having faced the full quota. 110 all out in 16.4 overs counts as 110 in 20 overs.
Do I average the NRR of each match?
No. Sum all runs and balls for and against, then compute one rate each. That is how ICC playing conditions define it.
How is the margin to overtake worked out?
The page tries every possible result of your next match, assuming the rival's NRR stays where it is, and shows the smallest win that lifts you above it.
