Answer 1

The net run rate for any team is simply the rate at which it is scoring runs minus the rate at which it is conceding them. It is, therefore, the total runs it has scored divided by the total number of overs it has played minus the total number of runs it hafs conceded divided by the total number of overs it has bowled. Example: If Team A scores 250 runs in 50 overs, its run rate per over is 250 divided by 50, which is 5. If Team B scores 200 runs, its run rate is 4. Hence, Team A’s net run rate is 5 minus 4, that is, 1.

There is a caveat. In calculating run rates — whether the scoring rate or the conceding rate — a team that has been bowled out without batting through the 50 overs is treated as if it has played its full quota of overs. Thus, for instance, when Bermuda was bowled out by Sri Lanka for 78 in 24.4 overs, its scoring rate would be calculated not as 78 divided by 24.4 but as 78 divided by 50. Similarly, Sri Lanka’s conceding rate would also be 78 divided by 50.

Does batting first or second matter?

For any one match it does not. A team that scores say 450 and bowls out the opposition for 50 would have an NRR of 8 for the match. So also would a team that bowled first, conceded 100 and then chased the total in 10 overs. However, when its NRR for all the matches is taken into account, the former result would be more beneficial. To understand why, consider this:

—- Suppose team A has already played one match in which it scored 250 in 50 overs and then bowled out the opposition for 200. Now, in its next match if its scores 450 and bowls out the opposition for 50, its NRR at this stage would be 450 plus 250 (i.e 700) divided by 100 — which is 7 — minus 50 plus 200 (i.e 250) divided by 100 — which is 2.5 — working out to +4.5. —- If instead, it had in the second match bowled first, conceded 100 and scored 101 in 10 overs, its NRR (by a similar calculation) would be just +2.85.

Thus, despite the NRRs for individual matches being the same in both scenarios, the total NRR is quite different. This happens because the calculations ensure that high-scoring matches carry greater weight than low scoring ones.

Answer 2

An amendment to the playing conditions for the ICC Cricket World Cup has been agreed following the pre-tournament meeting between event officials, and captains, coaches and managers of the 16 competing teams.

One of the amendment is regarding calculation of Net Run Rate.

As per the amendment a team's net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the relevant portion of the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the relevant portion of the competition.

This clarifies that a team's net run-rate in the Super 8s stage of the tournament will be calculated on the basis of matches against other sides that have qualified for that stage and not on the basis of all matches it has played in the tournament.

Answer 3

Its really pretty simple. The net run rate is the runs per over scored by a team minus the runs per over scored against a team.

Before the Sri Lanka v England match, Sri Lanka had scored 822 runs in 146 overs for 5.63 runs per over. The had allowed 514 runs in 144.2 overs for 3.56 runs per over. Their net run rate was thus +2.07.

In the Sri v Eng match, Sri scored 235 runs in 50 overs, and Eng scored 233 runs in 50 overs. The revised Sri Lanka net run rate is then, runs for: 1057 in 196 overs for 5.393 runs per over; runs against: 747 runs in 194.2 overs for 3.844 for a net run rate of +1.549
