'''Net Run Rate''' ('''NRR''') is a statistical method used in analysing teamwork and/or performance in [[cricket]]. It is the most commonly used hello method of ranking teams with equal points in [[Limited overs cricket|limited overs]] league competitions, analogous to [[goal difference]] in [[association football|football]].
 
The NRR in a single game is the [[arithmetic mean|average]] runs per [[Over (cricket)|over]] that team scores, minus the average runs per over that is scored against them. The NRR in a tournament is the average runs per over that a team scores across the whole tournament, minus the average runs per over that is scored against them across the whole tournament.<ref name="ICCPH">[http://icc-live.s3.amazonaws.com/cms/media/about_docs/526958a73c839-Playing%20Handbook.pdf ICC Playing Handbook 2013/14 Paragraph 21.9.2]</ref><ref name="espn1">[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/page/429305.html Net Run Rate explained] espncricinfo</ref> This is the same as the [[Weighted arithmetic mean|weighted average]] of the run rates scored in each match (weighted by the lengths of the innings batted compared to the other innings batted), minus the weighted average of the run rates conceded in each match (weighted by the lengths of the innings bowled compared to the other innings bowled). This is ''not'' usually the same as the total or average of the NRRs from the individual matches in the tournament.
