      • (Total runs scored/overs played) – (Total runs scored by opponents/over are played)
      • = (1,200/100) – (1400/100)
      • =1.2 – 1.4 = -0.2 (net run rate Team ‘A’) 
    • FOR THE PURPOSE OF ABOVE CALCULATION:
      • In the event of a team being all out in less then its full quota of over’s, the calculation of its net run rate shall be used based on the full quota of over’s to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of over’s in which the team was dismissed.
      • In case of a side scoring total runs in excess of that scored by the opposing side in less then the full quota of over’s, then the actual number of over’s played will be taken for the purpose of net run rate calculation. 
    • ILLUSTRATION:
      • Over’s to be used for calculation = 80 + 18 = 98. 
      • 1 x 18 = 18 overs.
      • 4 x20 = 80 overs.
      • Total over played by Team ‘A’ during the tournament shall be:
