Run rate
Terminology used in the sport of cricket / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the accountancy term, see Run rate (accounting).
In cricket, the run rate (RR), or runs per over (RPO), is the average number of runs a batting side scores per over.[1] It includes all runs made by the batting side in the innings to that point of the game, both the runs scored by the batsmen and extras conceded by the bowling team.
