A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the number of runs scored divided by the number of overs.balls faced.
Where a side is all out, the number of overs to be used is the maximum number of overs that side was otherwise eligible to face.
Where matches are shortened and targets revised through the define by the referee committee, bonus run rates and bonus defensive targets are derived as a function of the revised target score (less one run) and maximum overs.
Whenever a target, or revised target, is set, the exact number of overs. balls within which the side batting second must achieve this target in order to gain the bonus point should be announced. Once these overs. balls have been bowled, if the target has not then been achieved the bonus point can not be gained by any subsequent event, eg a multiple scoring shot, or extras.
