How it's calculated
Economy Rate (Econ) = Runs Conceded ÷ Overs Bowled (with exact ball fractions)
Calculation process: 1. Total Balls Bowled = (Completed Overs × 6) + (Partial Balls) 2. Exact Overs = Total Balls Bowled ÷ 6 3. Economy Rate = Runs Conceded ÷ Exact Overs 4. Runs Per Ball = Runs Conceded ÷ Total Balls Bowled
FAQ
How do you calculate economy if a bowler only bowls 3.4 overs?
3.4 overs equals 3 completed overs (18 balls) plus 4 balls = 22 total balls. 22 / 6 = 3.667 overs. Divide runs conceded by 3.667.
Do byes and leg-byes hurt a bowler's economy rate?
No. The official scorer assigns byes and leg-byes to team extras, shielding the bowler's personal statistics.
What is a maiden over?
A maiden over is an entire six-ball over in which zero runs are conceded by the bowler (including no wides or no-balls).
