Cricket Match Net Run Rate Formula

Net Run Rate (NRR) is a statistical method used in analysing teamwork and/or performance in cricket.

The concept of net run rate involves subtracting the opponents run rate from the teams run rate.

Match Net Run Rate = (Total Runs Scored / Total Overs Faced) - (Total Runs Conceded / Total Overs Bowled)

For two teams which have just played, the winning side will have a positive Match NRR, and the losing side will have the negative of this (i.e. the Match NRRs will be additive inverses, summing to zero).
