The PSL NRR calculator works out a team’s net run rate from its total runs scored, overs faced, runs conceded and overs bowled, then shows how one more match would change it. Net run rate is the runs per over a team scores minus the runs per over it concedes. When a team is bowled out, the full 20 overs count as faced, and the calculator applies that rule for you.

How is net run rate calculated?
Net run rate (NRR) is the average runs a team scores per over minus the average runs it concedes per over, taken across the whole season. The calculator adds your season totals first and divides afterwards. It does not average match-by-match rates, because the formula uses total runs divided by total overs. Overs are converted from cricket notation, so 18.3 is treated as 18 and a half overs, because 3 of the 6 balls have been bowled.
If a side is bowled out before its overs run out, the full 20 overs count against it as faced, not the time it actually batted. The tick boxes apply that rule to the extra match. A team that chases down a target early keeps its real overs, since the innings ended on its own terms.
Worked example
The figures below are illustrative, not a real team’s record. They show how a single match moves the rate, and they match the default values in the calculator above.
| Line | Runs | Overs | Rate per over |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scored, season so far | 1,620 | 180 | 9.000 |
| Conceded, season so far | 1,530 | 180 | 8.500 |
| NRR before | +0.500 | ||
| Extra match: scored | 190 | 20 | 9.500 |
| Extra match: conceded | 160 | 20 | 8.000 |
| Scored, new total | 1,810 | 200 | 9.050 |
| Conceded, new total | 1,690 | 200 | 8.450 |
| NRR after | +0.600 |
A strong win moved this team’s rate by 0.100, because one match is a tenth of the overs in the new totals. Early in a season a single match moves NRR far more than it does late in the season.
Why does NRR matter in the PSL?
When teams finish level on points, the table is separated using NRR. In PSL 10, Islamabad United and Karachi Kings both had 12 points, and Islamabad ranked second with an NRR of +0.372 against +0.049. In PSL 11, Hyderabad Kingsmen, Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings all finished on 10 points. We have not found the PCB’s full tie-break order published, so this page does not state it, and the calculator does not try to model it.
What does this calculator not do?
It does not model matches shortened by rain, where revised targets and overs apply. We have not confirmed how the PSL applies its revised-target rules to NRR, so for such a match enter the revised figures that the official scorecard uses. It also does not know the results of any season, and it stores nothing: the sum runs in your browser.
