222bdt cricket: what a chase requires
A target tells the chasing side what it must reach. The remaining legal balls tell you how much time it has to do so. Keeping those two quantities apart makes a live score meaningful.

Target and current score answer different questions
Suppose the first innings ends at 170. The chase target is 171, because matching 170 would tie the totals rather than exceed them. A live score of 72/2 says where the chase stands, not whether it has succeeded.
The two wickets affect how much batting capacity remains, but the arithmetic of the target starts with runs. You need 99 more runs from 72 to reach 171. This is a statement of remaining runs, not a forecast.
Calculate the required rate
If the chase is at 72/2 after 10 complete overs in a 20-over match, 10 overs remain. The required rate is 99 divided by 10, or 9.9 runs per over. Expressed over 60 legal balls, the same need averages 1.65 runs per ball.
Current run rate is different: 72 divided by 10 equals 7.2 per over. The gap between 7.2 and 9.9 shows that the future scoring pace must rise for that particular target. A boundary can change both the score and the required rate on the next ball; do not treat either rate as fixed.
Check the match frame before comparing rates
An innings shortened by weather changes how many overs remain and may also change the target under the competition's rules. The simple 171-target example assumes an unchanged 20-over frame. It should not be carried across to a revised match without reading the displayed target.
A slot label on the same page does not alter any of this cricket arithmetic. A slot's paytable describes a separate game; it cannot be used to infer a cricket outcome or a live market's settlement terms.
Questions about games
Why is the target 171 after 170?
The chasing side must exceed 170 to win outright; 170 would level the totals in the simple example.
Is current run rate the rate still needed?
No. Current rate summarizes runs already scored per over. Required rate divides runs still needed by overs remaining.
Do wides use up one of the six legal balls?
No. A wide can add a run, but it does not count as a legal delivery in the six-ball over.
