In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. [2] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test and One Day International matches. [lower-alpha 1]

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in an international match on the ground was England's Derek Underwood who took five wickets at the cost of 28 runs (5/28) in the first Test match played on the ground. The best innings bowling figures in Test cricket on the ground are 7/94, taken by Australia's Shane Warne against Pakistan in October 2002. The only bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a One Day International on the ground was India's Ekta Bisht who took 5/8 in a match in the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier against Pakistan
