Question

If extra runs are not considered, which match has the lowest average runs per over?

• A. First match
• B. Second match
• C. Third match
• D. either second or third match

Answer 1

The correct option is B Second match

This is a simple calculation.
Option (a) can be easily eliminated as this has the maximum runs scored. In order to decide between match 2 and match 3, we are required to calculate the actual value.
Average Runs per Over for Match 2 = 3.06 runs per over and Average Runs per over for match 3 = 3.40 runs per over. Hence match 2 is the answer. Hence option (b) is the answer.
