At 17.1 overs: +0.799
Assumes exactly one run above the opposition’s score, a normal completed match and no DLS adjustment. Winning boundaries or extras can change the final score.
NRR threshold only. Qualification also depends on points and tournament rules.
Calculation & assumptions
Legal-ball arithmetic keeps partial overs exact. An innings of 17.4 overs is 106 legal balls, or 17⅔ mathematical overs.
- Use credited tournament totals after all-out adjustments.
- Only eligible completed results count. No-results and Super Over statistics are excluded.
- DLS-affected matches require competition-adjusted credited totals; this tool does not produce official DLS targets.
- The chase scenario adds one hypothetical match to the displayed totals. It does not simulate a full league table.
Check the relevant event’s rules. Displayed NRR is rounded to three decimals; deadline decisions use the unrounded value.
Frequently asked questions
How is overs notation written?
The digit after the dot counts legal balls, not tenths of an over. Enter 17.4 for 17 overs plus four balls. Values such as 17.6 or 17.25 are invalid. Wides and no-balls do not add legal deliveries.
What happens if a team is all out?
Use the full quota allocated to that innings, including a revised allocation where relevant. For example, 150 all out in 18.4 of 20 overs counts as 150 from 20 overs for NRR. Apply this separately to every match before combining totals.
Why should I not average match NRR values?
Tournament NRR is the run rate from combined runs and credited overs minus the corresponding opposition rate. Averaging per-match NRR gives the wrong weighting when innings lengths differ.
How are no-result matches and Super Overs treated?
A no-result match is normally excluded from NRR. Super Over runs and balls do not enter the main-innings calculation. A DLS result can still count, using the credited figures specified by the competition. Check the event playing conditions.
How does DLS affect NRR?
DLS can change the first innings’ credited score and overs. For an abandoned match with a DLS result, the first team is generally credited with the second team’s par score over the overs faced by the second team. For a completed DLS-adjusted chase, the first team is generally credited with final target minus one over the second team’s allocated overs. Use official credited totals for your event; no official Stern calculation is performed here.
Does the chase deadline guarantee qualification?
No. It finds the latest whole legal-ball finish meeting an NRR threshold, assuming the final chase total is exactly the opposition score plus one. Points, other teams, tie-break priorities and tournament regulations determine qualification. This is a scenario, not a forecast.
