Answer 2

Net Run Rate (NRR) is a statistic used in the sport of cricket. It is the most commonly used method of separating teams in one-day league competitions, effectively acting as the Cricket equivalent of "goal difference" in football.

The net run rate in a single game is the run rate per over that a team scores, minus the run rate per over that is scored against them.

The concept of net run rate involves taking the opponents' final run rate away from the team's run rate. The only complication is that if a team is bowled out, it is not the balls faced which their score is divided by; instead the full fifty over quota is used.

Usually, runs and overs bowled are summed together throughout a season to compare teams in a league table, as the following formula shows:

(table in link)

tot runs score/tot overs faced - tot runs conceded / tot balls bowled

Net run rate is the total number of runs divided by the number of overs played

Answer 5

this is the ratio between no of runs scored with no of overs BALLS) faced and to the no of runs conceded by no of overs(BALLS) delivered. this elimination is in sports where league positions are at stake.

Answer 6

A team's run rate (RR) is their total number of runs divided by overs faced. As an over is made up of six balls, each ball counts for 1/6 of an over for the purposes of calculating the net run rate, despite being normally written in cricket's notation as .1 of an over.

So if a team scores 250 runs off 50 overs then their runrate is 250/50 =5. If they got that same score off 47.5 overs, their RR would be (250)/(47*5/6)=5.226

The concept of net run rate involves taking the opponents' final run rate away from the team's run rate. The only complication is that if a team is bowled out, it is not the balls faced which their score is divided by; instead the full fifty over quota is used.

Usually, runs and overs bowled are summed together throughout a season to compare teams in a league table, as the following formula shows:

Net Run Rate = (total runs scored / total overs faced) - (total runs conceded / total overs bowled)
