How to Calculate Batting Average
Batting average is a key statistic used in both Cricket and Baseball to measure a batter's performance. However, the calculation differs slightly between the two sports.
Cricket Batting Average Formula
In cricket, your average is calculated by dividing your total runs scored by the number of times you have been out.
Average = Total Runs / (Innings Played - Not Outs)
Example: If you scored 500 runs in 15 innings and remained not out 3 times, your average would be:500 / (15 - 3) = 500 / 12 = 41.66
Baseball Batting Average Formula
In baseball, the average is the ratio of hits to "at bats" (AB).
AVG = Hits / At Bats
Example: If you had 35 hits in 110 at bats:35 / 110 = .318
What is a Good Batting Average?
| Rating | Cricket Average | Baseball Average |

| Very Good | 40.00 - 49.99 | .280 - .299 |
| Average | 30.00 - 39.99 | .250 - .279 |
| Below Average | Below 30.00 | Below .250 |
help Frequently Asked Questions
Does a "Walk" measure into batting average in baseball?
No. Walks (Base on Balls) are not counted as an "At Bat" and therefore do not lower your batting average. However, they do improve your On-Base Percentage (OBP).
Why is a Cricket average usually higher than Baseball?
In cricket, a batsman continues to bat until they get out, allowing them to score potentially hundreds of runs in a single innings. In baseball, you only get one chance per at-bat to make a hit.
What does "Not Out" mean in the calculation?
In cricket, if you finish an innings without getting out (Not Out), that innings does not count towards the denominator (Number of Outs). This effectively boosts your average.
