Cricket Run Rate Calculator (Current RPO)
In cricket, an over consists of 6 legal deliveries. Crucially, notation such as '19.4 overs' means 19 completed overs plus 4 balls (118 total legal balls = 19.667 overs), NOT 19.4 decimal overs! WorldOfCricket.in calculates the exact mathematical rate by dividing total legal balls by 6.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 19.4 overs not 19.4 in the formula?
Because overs use base-6 for balls. 4 balls is 4/6ths of an over (0.6667 overs), so 19.4 overs equals 19.6667 decimal overs. Dividing by 19.4 produces an inaccurate rate.
Do wides and no-balls count as legal balls?
No. Wides and no-balls add runs to the team score but do not count as legal balls towards the 6-ball over count.
