Batting Strike Rate Calculator

Batting strike rate shows how quickly a batter scores. It tells you the average runs scored per 100 balls. Use this Batting Strike Rate Calculator to check your SR in seconds and plan how many runs you still need to hit a target SR.

What Is Batting Strike Rate?

Strike Rate (SR) = (Runs ÷ Balls Faced) × 100. If you score 45 runs off 30 balls, your SR is 150. A higher SR puts pressure on the bowling side and shifts momentum in your team’s favor.

Why Strike Rate Matters

• T20 cricket: Quick scoring wins games. SR often matters more than average.
• ODIs: Balance strike rate with innings building to finish strong at the death.
• Tests: SR shapes tempo—accelerate to set up declarations or chase quickly.

How to Use the Batting Strike Rate Calculator

1. Enter your runs and balls faced to see your current SR.
2. (Optional) Add 4s and 6s to view boundary and non-boundary splits.
3. Use the Target SR mode to set a desired strike rate and available balls.
4. We’ll show how many runs you need and the required SR for the next balls.

Examples

• Current SR: 36 runs off 24 balls → (36 ÷ 24) × 100 = 150.0
• Target SR: You’re 28 (20). To end at SR 160 with 10 more balls, final runs needed = (160 ÷ 100 × 30) − 28 = 20 runs. Required SR over next 10 balls = 200.

Good SR Benchmarks (Context Only)

• T20: 150+ explosive, 120–149 aggressive, ~100 run-a-ball
• ODI: 110+ excellent, 90–109 good, 75–89 steady
• Test: 80+ brisk, 60–79 positive, 40–59 steady

Tips to Improve Strike Rate

• Rotate strike: Turn dots into singles; keep bowlers under pressure.
• Target matchups: Attack your best matchup; respect the tough overs.
• Use powerplay: Cash in on fielding restrictions with clean hitting.
• Boundary options: Develop 360° scoring—laps, ramps, inside-out shots.
• Finish strong: Plan gears for overs 16–20 in T20s and the final 10 in ODIs.

Key Takeaway

Your strike rate is a real-time indicator of intent and impact. Check your cricket strike rate with this calculator, explore target scenarios, and turn tight games with smarter pacing.
