Can you qualify on NRR if you hit a six on the cutoff ball to win?

Yes! If 161 is required and a batsman hits a six when scores are level at 160 on ball 15.2, the total score becomes 166, which actually grants a further positive boost.

What if we bat first? How do we calculate the margin?

When batting first, the margin is expressed in runs defended. For example, if you score 190, you must restrict the opposition to 142 or fewer runs.

Does this calculator handle multi-team group scenarios?

Yes, by setting the benchmark against the 4th-place team's projected tally, you can determine universal qualification thresholds.

NRR Differential to Overcome (+ or -)

Scenario A: If Chasing (165 Runs)

Chase in ≤ 18.4 overs

Must cross the target in 18 overs and 4 balls or earlier to overtake qualification spot.

Scenario B: If Defending (165 Runs)

Restrict to ≤ 155 runs

Win by a margin of at least 10 runs to guarantee qualification over rival team.
