  • Right now England's NRR stats are (note that over decimals are number of balls not decimal part):
    F: 397/52.4 = 7.538
    A: 381/54.3 = 6.991
    NRR = 7.538-6.991 = 0.547

    Let's try a few scenarios:-

    SL score 160 in 20ov, Eng 161 in 20ov:-
    F: 558/72.4 = 7.679
    A: 541/74.3 = 7.262
    Final NRR = 0.417

    Omitting the calcs (happy to supply them) we can do this for a variety of scenarios:-

    SL score 160 in 20ov, Eng 161 in 10ov: Final NRR = 1.643
    SL score 160 ao in 10ov, Eng 161 in 20ov: Final NRR = 0.417
    SL score 160 ao in 10ov, Eng 161 in 10ov: Final NRR = 1.643
    Eng score 200 in 20ov, SL 150 in 20 ov: Final NRR = 1.088
    Eng score 200 in 20ov, SL 150 in 15 ov: Final NRR = 1.088

    In each of these cases England have won but there's a huge variation in the NRR they end up with.

  • Do England win if their NRR ended up at -0.7? Australia currently on -0.304 so if they beat Afghanistan it feels unlikely they'd drop much below this?
