List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Trent Boult

Boult has taken the fourth-highest number of five-wicket hauls for New Zealand.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a fifer or five-for), ^[2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. Trent Boult, a New Zealand cricketer, has taken 15 five-wicket hauls during his international cricket, ten in Test cricket and five in One Day International matches (ODIs). ^[3] Boult has also played for New Zealand in Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket.

Boult is a left-arm fast-medium bowler, who is notable for his ability to swing the ball both ways. He is one of 36 players to have taken 300 or more wickets in Test cricket ^[4] and has been ranked consistently towards the top of the ICC Men's ODI Player Rankings. ^[5] He made his international debut for New Zealand on 9 December 2011 against Australia in the second Test of New Zealand's 2011 tour of Australia, taking four wickets in the match. ^[6]

Boult's first five-wicket haul was against England, during the third Test of England's 2012–13 tour of New Zealand; he took six wickets for the cost of 68 runs (6/68) during England's first innings. ^[7] His career best Test match bowling analysis came against Sri Lanka with 6/30 taken during Sri Lanka's 2018–2019 tour of New Zealand. ^[8]

Boult's first ODI five-wicket haul was taken against Australia, during the 2015 Cricket World Cup. He took five wickets for 27 runs in a group stage match. ^[9] With five individual five-wicket hauls, Boult is equal for eighth place for the most five-wickets taken in an ODI. ^[10] His seven wickets for 34 against the West Indies are the eighth best figures taken in men's ODI cricket and the second best taken for New Zealand after Tim Southee's 7/33. ^[11]
