What is Bowling Economy Rate?
The bowling economy rate is the average number of runs a bowler concedes per over bowled.
How to Calculate Bowling Economy?
To calculate the bowling economy rate, you can use the following formula:
Economy Rate = Runs Conceded ÷ Overs Bowled
Example: If a bowler concedes 80 runs in 10 overs, the economy rate would be calculated as follows:
Economy Rate = 80/10 = 8.00
This means the bowler has conceded an average of 8 runs per over.
What is a Good Bowling Economy Rate?
A good bowling economy rate varies by the format of the game:
- T20: An economy rate below 6.0 is considered excellent.
- One Day Internationals (ODI): An economy rate below 5.0 is ideal.
- Test Matches: An economy rate below 3.5 is typically seen as very good.
Bowlers with lower economy rates are often valued for their ability to limit runs and apply pressure on the batting team.
