About this calculator
Cricket average is runs divided by dismissals; a not-out innings does not count as a dismissal. This tool uses cricket scoring only and cannot calculate baseball hits per at-bat. Performance labels are descriptive thresholds in this tool, not league rankings.

Frequently asked questions
How is the cricket batting average calculated?
The calculator divides runs by dismissals, where dismissals = innings − not-outs. With 850 runs in 25 innings and 5 not-outs, the result is 850 ÷ 20 = 42.5. Strike rate is runs ÷ balls faced × 100. This page calculates cricket statistics only; baseball average requires hits divided by at-bats and is not supported here.
