Paper and pen.
Steps
Note the total runs scored by a team in a match. Don't see the wickets.
Find the overs played by the team in the match. If they have played all overs in ODI or T20 count it as 50 or 20 overs. In case of all-out also, take 20 or 50 overs.
Divide the total runs scored by the overs. The result is the run rate of the team.
Similarly, find the run rate of team it played against.
Now find the difference of run rates of both team. For Team A, Run Rate = Run Rate of A - Run rate of B. And simalar for B. In case of win, its positive and in case of loss - negative.
To calculate Net Run Rate of a team, find the average run rates. The net run rate is sum of run rates in every match divided by total matches played.
