NRR · the ICC method
Net run rate calculator
Your team's net run rate across a tournament, with a side that is bowled out charged its full overs, as the ICC playing conditions say. Then put the whole group into a points table and try out the next result.

| Match | Scored · overs | Conceded · overs | Match NRR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 v Oakfield | 172 · 20 | 141 ao · 18.4 → 20 | +1.550 |
| 2 v Hill Top | 98 ao · 16.3 → 20 | 99 · 12.1 | −3.237 |
| 3 v Station Road | 151 · 18.5 | 150 · 20 | +0.518 |
Overs shown as x → 20 were charged as the full quota because the side was bowled out. The tournament figure comes from the totals, not from averaging the match figures; ao = all out.

How net run rate works
Net run rate is the runs a team scores per over, minus the runs per over scored against it, over the whole group. Add up every run and every ball first, then divide: the tournament figure is never an average of the single-match figures.
The rule that trips people up is the all-out rule. When a side is bowled out before its overs run out, its innings counts as if it had batted the full quota. Bowl a side out for 141 in 18.4 overs of a 20-over game and that is 141 runs off 20 overs, not 18.4, which helps the bowling side. Tick Bowled out and the calculator does this for you. A side that wins a chase early is not charged extra overs: only the overs it faced count.
Matches with no result don't count for net run rate. For a rain-affected match decided by Duckworth–Lewis–Stern, enter the side batting first as the revised target minus one, off the overs the chasing side was given; if the match was abandoned with a result, use the par score off the overs the chasing side faced. A Super Over never counts.
In the points table, enter each team's totals from a published table, or start from zero and add results one at a time. The table ranks on points, then wins, then net run rate, as ICC events do; their next tie-breakers, head-to-head and team rankings, are left to you.

Questions
Why did my net run rate go down after a win?
A narrow win can still lower it. If you beat a side by a few runs while both teams scored at about the same rate, the match adds little, and if your scoring rate in that game was below your tournament average, the overall figure drops.
Does the all-out rule apply to the side that wins a chase?
No. A chasing side that reaches the target in 16 overs is charged 16 overs. Only a side that is bowled out is charged its full quota.
How many decimal places are used?
Tables usually show three, as here. The calculator keeps full precision underneath, so two teams that look level at three decimals are still ordered correctly.
Where is my data kept?
