Question 53

In the first 20 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 2.4 per over. What should the run rate in the remaining 30 overs be to reach a target of 308 runs? [Give your answer correct to one decimal place.]

Solution

In the first 20 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 2.4 per over.

total runs in the first 20 overs of a cricket game = $$2.4\times20$$ = 48 runs

target = 308 runs

Total required runs in the remaining 30 overs = (308-48) runs

= 260 runs

Run rate in the remaining 30 overs be to reach a target of 308 runs = $$\frac{260}{30}$$

= 8.66

= 8.7 approx.
