Frequently asked questions
How are overs counted?
Cricket overs use a base-6 notation: 18.3 means 18 completed overs plus 3 balls, not 18.3 decimal overs. Our calculator converts this correctly.
What's a good run rate in a 50-over ODI innings?
A run rate of around 5-6 runs per over is typical for a competitive ODI total, while modern totals pushing 6.5-7+ runs per over are generally considered very strong, reflecting how the format has become more aggressive over time.
