Frequently asked questions

Subtract runs conceded per over from runs scored per over. 300 in 50 overs minus 280 in 50 overs gives an NRR of 0.4.

It separates teams level on points in a league table, rewarding bigger wins and tighter losses.

If a side is bowled out, the full quota of overs is used in the calculation, not the overs actually faced.

Yes. A negative NRR means a team concedes runs faster per over than it scores them across the tournament.
