How to calculate the Batsman and Bowler Strike Rates

How to calculate the Batsman and Bowler Strike Rates

Batsman Strike Rate

a. Balls faced by a batsman are all legitimate deliveries plus No balls.
b. Strike Rate is number of runs scored by a batsman in 100 deliveries i.e., number
of runs scored divided by number of balls faced, later multiplied by 100.

Strike Rate = Number of runs Scored /Number of balls faced x100

Examples:
64/64 x100     100.00
45/76 x100     59.21
165/143 x100     115.38
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Career Average
 Career Average is average runs scored in an innings i.e., Total runs scored
divided by number of innings played minus number of innings remained not out.

Career Average = Total runs scored/ Innings played – Innings not out

Example: 46 matches 78 inns 5 not outs 3745 runs
Career Average = 3745/78-5
= 3745/73
= 51.30
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bowler

Balls Delivered by a bowler is all Valid balls plus No balls and Wide balls 
Average of a bowler is Number of runs given for a wicket taken. 

Average = Runs conceded / Wickets taken 


Examples: 
10-0-47-2 23.50 
23.5-6-88-4 22.00 
57.4-10-128-0 ------ 
34.1-13-134-1 134.00 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strike Rate of a bowler

 is Number of balls bowled for a wicket taken. 

Strike Rate = Balls bowled / Wickets taken

Examples: 
10-0-47-2 30.00 
23.5-6-88-4 35.75 
57.4-10-128-0 ------ 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Economy Rate

Economy Rate of a bowler is Number of runs conceded for an over bowled 

Economy Rate = Runs conceded / Actual Overs bowled 

Examples: 
10-0-47-2 4.70 
23.5-6-88-4 3.69 

Part of an over not to be rounded off. When there is a fraction of over, convert the overs into balls and multiply the quotient with 6.
