The tool in question assists in determining the average number of runs scored per over in a cricket match. This calculation is performed by dividing the total runs scored by a team by the number of overs they have faced. For instance, if a team scores 150 runs in 25 overs, the application yields a rate of 6 runs per over (150/25=6).
This metric is a critical indicator of a team’s scoring efficiency and often plays a pivotal role in determining the outcome of limited-overs cricket matches. It provides a clear and concise summary of a team’s batting performance and is frequently used in match analysis, commentary, and strategic planning. Its historical usage dates back to the formalization of limited-overs formats, becoming increasingly relevant with the rise of shorter match durations and Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method calculations.
