Net Run Rate (NRR) measures a team’s scoring efficiency in limited-overs cricket. It calculates the difference between runs scored per over and runs conceded per over.
For example, if Team A scores 300 in 50 overs and restricts Team B to 250, Team A has a higher NRR. NRR often decides tie-breakers in league tables, making every run and over crucial.
Pro-Tip: Teams sometimes accelerate scoring or slow bowling strategically in the last overs to improve NRR.
