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.
