Cricket Projected Score Calculator
Projected final total from the current score and overs — at the current run rate and at faster finishing rates of 6, 8, 10 and 12 an over.
How it works
Projected = runs scored + finishing rate × overs remaining
The broadcast “projected score” simply extends the current run rate to the end of the innings, which understates most ODI totals because teams accelerate in the last ten overs. A better guess adds one to two runs an over to the finishing rate when plenty of wickets remain, and none when the tail is in. The table lets you read off any scenario.
Worked example
148/2 after 30 overs (4.93 an over): 247 at the current rate, about 287 if the last 20 go at 7.
Frequently asked questions
What is a par score?
It depends on pitch and ground — roughly 270–300 in ODIs and 160–180 in T20s on average surfaces in recent years.
How is this different from DLS par?
DLS uses resources (overs and wickets) to compute a target for a shortened match; this is a plain projection of the current innings.
