How is the 'Pressure Level' defined?

Pressure is calculated based on the Required Run Rate (RRR): Low ( 18).

What is the highest RRR ever successfully chased?

In T20 matches, teams have successfully chased rates as high as 15-18 RPO in short bursts, though sustaining such rates over many overs is extremely rare.

Does it work for Super Overs?

Yes. You can enter 6 balls remaining to calculate the pressure during a one-over eliminator (Super Over).
