Strike Rate
Strike rate shows how quickly a batter scores, measured per 100 balls.
Strike rate is one of the main ways to judge scoring speed in white-ball cricket.
Formula
Strike Rate = (Runs / Balls) x 100
Example: 50 runs from 25 balls gives a strike rate of 200.
Quick Example
A batter scores 50 runs from 30 balls.
(50 / 30) x 100 = 166.67
The strike rate is 166.67.

What is strike rate?
Batting strike rate is found by dividing runs by balls faced and multiplying by 100. It is one of the most common ways to measure innings speed in white-ball cricket.
Example calculation
If a batter scores 54 from 36 balls, the strike rate is 150. That means the same scoring pace would produce 150 runs per 100 balls.
How it differs from average
Average measures consistency, while strike rate measures speed. Reading both together gives a clearer view of a batter's overall value.
