The average run rate of a cricket team during the first 20 overs is 4.5. What should be the asking rate per over for the next 30 overs, if it has to chase a target of 282 runs in total ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total runs in 50 overs = 282
Average of runs in 20 overs = 4.5
Sum of run in 20 overs = 4.5 x 0 = 90
Runs need in remaining 30 overs = 282 - 90 = 192
Average runs in 30 overs = \(\frac{192}{30}\) = 6.4
