Wrong Calculation
by Pankaj Garg on Mar 22, 2007 07:08 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Above calculations are wrong for the case if Bermuda bats first and get all out on 50, If BD makes those run in 5 overs then BD will overtake India NRR.

At present NRR:
India = 5 (commulative, 2 matches)
BD = -4 (commulative, 2 matches)

If india beats SL by narrow margin say 1 run or in the last ball then their NRR remain same as 5 (commulative, 3 matches).

So BD has to cover a difference of 9 (-4 to 5).

if Bermuda gets out on 50, it means their RR is 1 in that match. so if BD makes that runs in 5 overs it means their RR is 10. So the difference is 9 (10-1). In tat case BD will overtake India

You are wrong. The net run rate is calculated based on the run rate managed from the number of overs used by a team - the run rate managed in the number of overs by its opponents ( in all the matches that was played).

Pankaj u r totally wrong,

Runrate will be calculated in different way...

Current BD runrate -2.002 ( 304/94.5 - 501/96 )

as Bermuda bats first: score 50
BD chase in 5 overs

RR = ( 355 / 99.5 - 551/146 ) = -0.206

If BD chase in 2 overs ( least possible)

RR = (355/96.5 - 551/146) = -0.095

So, I suggest u to learn some maths and pls India ki Izzat mat nikaalo ...

Dear Afsar,

At least you put some brain in it.
But NRR is added match per match, not like run scored in whole series.

Dear Pankaj,

Runrate will be calculated for whole series not per match by match.

In WC group stages runrate contain for all matches played in group stages and in SUper 8 they r again refreshed with matches in that stage.

Get the facts and dont argue blindly...

You are wrong. Brush up your math. It's not the average of NRRs in each match, it is NRR for all the matches.

you are on right track Jay. NRR is calculated in each match then added for all matches.
