List of five-wicket hauls in Twenty20 International cricket
A Twenty20 International (T20I) is an international cricket match between two teams, each having T20I status, as determined by the International Cricket Council, the sport's world governing body.[2] In a T20I, the two teams play a single innings each, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs.[3] The format was originally introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board for the county cricket competition with the first matches contested on 13 June 2003 between the English counties in the Twenty20 Cup.[4] The first T20I took place on 17 February 2005 when Australia defeated New Zealand by 44 runs at Eden Park in Auckland.[5]
A five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[6][7] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,[8] especially in the Twenty20 format, as bowlers can bowl no more than four overs in an innings.[9] The first five-wicket haul in a T20I match was taken by Pakistan's Umar Gul while playing against New Zealand at The Oval during the 2009 ICC World Twenty20.[1] The best bowling figures in an T20I innings was taken by India's Deepak Chahar who returned figures of 6 for 7 against Bangladesh at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur in November 2019.[10][11] Two other bowlers have taken a six-wicket haul in T20Is – Yuzvendra Chahal of India and Sri Lanka's Ajantha Mendis who has done so twice.[12]
The most recent five-wicket haul was taken by New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson against West Indies at Eden Park, Auckland during the first T20I match in November 2020.[13] Five cricketers have taken a hat-trick as part of their T20I five-wicket haul,[14][lower-alpha 1] and three bowlers have taken a five-wicket haul on T20I debut.[19][lower-alpha 2] Rangana Herath has taken the most economical five-wicket haul with an economy rate of just 0.85.[23] Bowling for Sri Lanka, he took five wickets for just three runs against New Zealand during the 2014 ICC World Twenty20.[24] The least economical five-wicket haul was taken by Joshua Rasu of Vanuatu with an economy rate of 12.70. He ended with the figures of 5/36 in 2.5 overs[25] Imran Tahir of South Africa is oldest player to take five wickets in an T20I innings, achieving the feat at the age of 39,[26] while Rashid Khan of Afghanistan, is the youngest at 18.[27] Imran Tahir and Rashid Khan are two of five cricketers who have achieved the feat on two occasions, alongside Umar Gul and Sri Lankans Lasith Malinga and Ajantha Mendis.[28] Five-wicket hauls have been taken in three matches that were determined by the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method,[29][30][31] while a further seven came in a match which did not result in a victory to the team taking the five-wicket haul.[32]
As of November 2020, 48 five-wicket hauls have been taken by 42 different players from 1,111 T20I matches.[33] Five-wicket hauls have been taken by players from 23 of the 73 teams that hold Twenty20 International status and have played a T20I match.[34][lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 4] Sri Lanka lead the list with five five-wicket hauls, followed by Afghanistan, India and South Africa with four each.[34] Five-wicket hauls have been taken at 36 different grounds, with Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka leading the list with four.[37]
