Understanding Cricket Strike Rate
The ToolMasteryHub Strike Rate Calculator provides cricket batsmen, coaches, and enthusiasts with a comprehensive tool to analyze batting performance. Strike rate is a critical metric in modern cricket that measures how quickly a batsman scores runs.
What is Strike Rate?
Strike Rate Formula
(Runs Scored ÷ Balls Faced) × 100
Strike rate represents the average number of runs scored per 100 balls faced. Higher is better.
Strike Rate Expectations by Format
Strike rates vary significantly across different cricket formats:
| Format | Low | Average | Good | Excellent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | Below 100 | 100-120 | 120-150 | Above 150 |
| ODI | Below 70 | 70-85 | 85-100 | Above 100 |
| Test | Below 40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | Above 60 |
