How to calculate net run rate in cricket?

To get the net-runrate, the batting run rate of a team is subtracted from the bowling run rate of the team. Let's assume that the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore scores 200 runs in the stipulated 20 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad and then spends 120 runs in 20 overs while bowling, then its net-runrate will be 4. Since RCB scored 200 runs in 20 overs, the batting run rate will be 10. At the same time, due to spending 120 runs, his bowling run rate will be 6. Means by minus 6 out of 10, the net run-rate will come out.

What happens if you get out before 20 overs?

Even if a team is all out before the scheduled overs, the net-runrate will be calculated on the basis of its scheduled overs only. For example, in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad were reduced to 108 runs in 18 overs at a run rate of six. Despite this, Sunrisers' batting run rate will be considered as 5.4 (108 runs/20 = 5.4).

What will be the rule in case of DLS coming

If a match is interrupted due to rain or any other reason, the net-runrate will be determined on the basis of the score determined after DLS instead of the actual score. For example, if Royal Challengers Bangalore score 200 runs in 20 overs and the target for Sunrisers is reduced to 180 runs in 16 overs due to rain, then the net-run rate is also determined on the basis of runs scored in 16 overs.
