In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs?

1. 6.25
2. 6.5
3. 6.75
4. 7

Answer

Total runs scored in the first 10 overs = Average x Overs = 32

Target remaining to score = 282 - 32 = 250

Numbers of overs left = 40

Run rate required = 250/40 = 6.25

The correct option is A.
