List of international five-wicket hauls at the National Stadium

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

National Stadium, Karachi.

The National Bank Cricket Arena is a cricket ground in Karachi, Pakistan.[1] The first Test match played at the National Stadium was in 1955 between Pakistan and India.[2] The most recent Test match hosted by the ground, was played in December 2022.[3] The ground has also hosted 48 One Day Internationals (ODIs), the first of these was in 1980 between Pakistan and the West Indies.[4]

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.[5][6] This is regarded as a notable achievement.[7][8]

54 five-wicket hauls in Tests[9] have been taken at the ground. Indian Gulabrai Ramchand took the first fifer on the ground in 1955. Imran Khan's 8/60 in 1982 against India are the best bowling figures in an innings.

7 five-wicket hauls in ODIs have been taken at the ground.[10] Waqar Younis took the five-for on the ground in 1990. Ajantha Mendis's 6/13 in 2008 against India in 2008 Asia Cup are the best bowling figures in an innings.

The stadium also maintains an honour board.[11]
