How to Read the NRR Column
Net Run Rate often decides who sneaks into the top 4 when points are tied, so it’s worth tracking closely as the table fills in:
- A positive NRR means a team is scoring faster than it’s conceding, on average
- A negative NRR means the opposite — runs are being leaked faster than they’re scored
- NRR is calculated using runs scored/overs faced minus runs conceded/overs bowled, across all matches
- In a tight six-team table, even small NRR differences can separate playoff-bound teams from those missing out
