• no of matches X
  runs of X matches is 51X
  runs of (X+1) matches is 51X+78
  ((51X+78) / (X+1)) = 54
  x= 8
  no of matches is 8+1 = 9

• ans is:6
  today's score=78
  current avg =51.. So 78-51=27 extra runs
  avg will be 54 i.e avg increases by 3...
  hence 27/3=9...9 runs per match..
  9*6=54....i.e 6
