Question 860949: In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Run rate is calculated by dividing runs scored by the number of overs.
in the first 10 overs there were 32 runs (10*3.2)
282-32=250
250/40=6.25 run rate for the remaining 40 overs
