Answer key: Cricket Net Run Rate worksheet

  1. 1. Net run rate: 0.467

    1. Add up runs and overs across all 3 matches (overs in cricket notation are turned into balls first)

      runs scored=400+180+260=840
    2. Total runs conceded

      runs conceded=290+200+280=770
    3. Overs faced as a true decimal: 138.0 overs is 828 balls, and 828 ÷ 6 = 138

      8286=138
    4. Run rate scored: runs ÷ overs faced, giving runs per over

      840138=6.087
    5. Run rate conceded: runs ÷ overs bowled (137.0 overs = 137)

      770137=5.6204
