Question

In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. The run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs is

Answer 1

Run rate is always per over.

So in first 10 overs the run rate was 3.2
So they scored 10×3.2 = 32 runs.

Therefore runs needed are (282-32) = 250

Therefore the needed run rate is (250/40) runs per over, which is
6.25 runs per over.
