Answer

Answer key: Cricket Strike Rate worksheet

1. Economy rate (runs per over): 4.24
1. Turn the overs into balls, then divide the 2550 balls by 6 to get true overs, since an over has 6 balls
  $\frac{2,550}{6}$ $= 425$
2. Divide the runs given away by the overs bowled. That's the economy rate: runs per over
  $\frac{1,800}{425}$ $= 4.2353$
3. Divide the runs given away by the wickets taken. That's the bowling average: runs each wicket cost
  $\frac{1,800}{76}$ $= 23.6842$
4. Divide the balls bowled by the wickets taken. That's the bowling strike rate: balls per wicket
  $\frac{2,550}{76}$ $= 33.5526$
2. Batting strike rate (runs per 100 balls): 72.73
1. Divide runs by balls faced, then multiply by 100. That's the strike rate: runs per 100 balls
  $\frac{1,200}{1,650} \times 100$ $= 72.7273$
2. Count the times the batter got out: innings minus the innings they finished not out
  $36 - 5$ $= 31$
3. Divide runs by the times they got out. That's the batting average: runs per dismissal
  $\frac{1,200}{31}$ $= 38.7097$

  $\frac{3,000}{6}$ $= 500$
2. Divide the runs given away by the overs bowled. That's the economy rate: runs per over
  $\frac{1,800}{500}$ $= 3.6$
3. Divide the runs given away by the wickets taken. That's the bowling average: runs each wicket cost
  $\frac{1,800}{54}$ $= 33.3333$
