Calculate Target Score
Proportional target, scaled to Team 2’s overs and adjusted for wickets lost.
Know Your Target in Seconds
Cricket scoring can be tricky — overs are written in decimal format like 10.4, where the number after the dot is balls bowled, not a mathematical fraction. This is where most manual target calculations go wrong. This calculator handles the math for you and factors in wickets lost: a team that lost more wickets was under more batting pressure, so the achievable target adjusts slightly to reflect real match conditions.
Just enter Team 1’s total runs, overs and wickets lost, plus the overs available to Team 2. You’ll instantly get the target score, required run rate, and a clear overs breakdown — for T20, ODI, or Test matches. Test match targets skip the overs-based scaling entirely, since there’s no overs limit — the target is simply the runs needed to win.
- Accounts for wickets lost, not just a flat run-rate projection
- Works for T20, ODI and Test formats
- Instant required run rate alongside the target
- Works perfectly on mobile and desktop
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the target score calculated?
The target is calculated proportionally from Team 1’s runs and overs, scaled to Team 2’s available overs, with wickets lost factored in for a more realistic figure.
Can I use this calculator for T20, ODI, and Test matches?
Yes. Select the match type — T20 and ODI use a proportional overs-based target, while Test targets are simply the runs needed to win with no overs limit.
How do I enter overs?
Enter overs in decimal format — e.g. 10.4 means 10 overs and 4 balls, not ten-point-four as a fraction.
Does wickets lost affect the target?
Yes. More wickets lost slightly reduces the calculated target, reflecting that a team under more batting pressure would likely have scored a bit less.
Is this calculator mobile-friendly?
Yes, it works smoothly on smartphones, tablets and desktops.
