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 ??. If they got that same score off 47.5 overs, their RR would be ??

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 quota of overs is used (e.g. 50 overs for a one day international and 20 overs for a Twenty20 match).

Usually, runs and overs bowled are summed together throughout a season to compare teams in a league table

The run rate, in a game of cricket, is the average number of runs that a batsman (or the batting side) scores in a six-ball over. The run rate is usually rounded to two decimal places. For example, in a recent match, 71 runs were scored by one team in 33.1 overs, giving a run rate of 71/(((33 x 6) + 1)/6) = 2.14 runs per over.
