Net run rate is just (total runs scored ÷ total overs faced) minus (total runs conceded ÷ total overs bowled). A slow chase punishes it because you use up more overs to get the same runs, which lowers your scoring rate. But honestly, the system feels unfair to teams that play sensibly, like a cautious batter building an innings. In my father’s accounts, a steady profit is better than a rushed one that risks everything, but this calculation doesn’t see it that way.
