Question 62

In the first 20 overs of a 50 over game of cricket, the run rate was 5.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 30 over to reach the target of 344 runs?

Solution

In the first 20 overs of a 50 over game of cricket, the run rate was 5.2.

Run made in first 20 overs = $$5.2\times20$$ = 104

Run need to be made in the remaining 30 overs = 344-104 = 240

Run rate in the remaining 30 over to reach the target of 344 runs = $$\frac{240}{30}$$

= 8
