Cricket Projected Score Calculator by TheCalcTools

How the Cricket Projected Score Calculator works

Each projection adds the chosen rate multiplied by the overs remaining to the current score. Broadcasters show the same thing to set expectations.

Real innings rarely follow one rate: wickets slow scoring and the final overs usually speed it up, so read projections as a range, not a forecast.

The formula

Projected score = current score + rate × overs remaining

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Current score95
Overs completed12
Extra balls0
Innings length20 overs
Custom rate for the rest (runs per over)10
  1. Current rate 95 ÷ 12 = 7.92; 8 overs remain.
  2. At the current rate the total would be 158; at 10 per over, 175.

Result:

At the current rate158
At 8 per over159
At 10 per over175
At 12 per over191
At your custom rate175
Current run rate7.92

Frequently asked questions

Why does the projection change so much early on?

Early in an innings a few big overs change the current rate a lot, and there are many overs left to multiply it by.
