How is run rate calculated in cricket?

Run rate (CRR) = total runs scored ÷ total overs bowled. For example, if a team scores 150 runs in 25 overs, the run rate is 150 ÷ 25 = 6.0 runs per over.

How is required run rate calculated?

Required Run Rate (RRR) = runs still needed ÷ overs remaining. If 120 runs are needed in 15 overs, the RRR is 120 ÷ 15 = 8.0 runs per over.

What is the difference between run rate and required run rate?

Current Run Rate (CRR) measures how fast the batting team has scored so far. Required Run Rate (RRR) measures how fast they must score from this point to win. If RRR > CRR, the team is behind the required pace.

How does a higher required run rate affect a chase?

As overs decrease and wickets fall, the RRR rises sharply. A team chasing 300 at 6.0 RRR with 10 overs left suddenly faces 12+ RRR if no wickets have fallen — requiring big hitting to stay in the game.
