Can I use the NRR calculator for the IPL, PSL or a World Cup?

Yes. Net run rate is calculated the same way in ICC events and in the main franchise leagues. Enter the runs and overs for each match the team has played and the calculator does the rest.

Why does my run rate look wrong when I type 10.5 overs?

In cricket, 10.5 overs means 10 overs and 5 balls, which is 65 balls. As a decimal it would be 10 and a half overs, which is 63 balls. The calculators always treat the number after the dot as balls.

Is the LBW checker the same as DRS?

No. The checker follows the questions in Law 36 that an on-field umpire uses. DRS adds ball-tracking technology and an "umpire’s call" margin on top of those questions.

Which tool do I need?

Each tool answers one question fans ask during a match. If you want to know where a team stands in a tournament table, use the Net Run Rate calculator. If you are watching a chase and want to know how fast the batting side has to score, use the Run Rate and Required Run Rate calculator.

The two quizzes are for the decisions that cause the most arguments. The LBW checker walks you through the same questions an umpire asks under Law 36 of the Laws of Cricket. The Offside quiz shows ten common situations and explains each call using Law 11 of the IFAB Laws of the Game.

How the calculators work

Run rate is runs scored divided by overs faced. Cricket writes overs as overs and balls, so 18.3 overs means 18 overs and 3 balls, not 18.3 overs in decimal. Both calculators convert overs to balls first, which is the step most people get wrong when they work it out by hand.

Net run rate follows the ICC method. A team that is bowled out is treated as if it faced its full quota of overs, so being all out early is punished in the table. When a match is shortened by rain, the revised overs are used. Every result shows the working, so you can check it against a points table on a broadcaster or league website.

How the quizzes are built

Each quiz question is based on the wording of the official law, not on opinion. After every answer you see why it is right or wrong and which part of the law decides it. That makes the quizzes useful for new fans, players, and anyone learning to umpire or referee at grassroots level.

The quizzes run entirely in your browser and do not send your answers anywhere, so you can try them as many times as you like.
