List of Big Bash League five-wicket hauls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dan Christian (left), Peter Siddle (right) and Ben Dwarshuis (not pictured) are the only players to have taken multiple five-wicket hauls.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[1][2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3] The Big Bash League (BBL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Australia, which has been held annually since its first season in 2011–12.[4] In the fifteen seasons played, 31 five-wicket hauls have been taken by twenty eight different bowlers. Players from all eight teams have taken five-wicket hauls.[5]

The first five-wicket haul was taken by Lasith Malinga of the Melbourne Stars against the Perth Scorchers on 12 December 2012.[6] Of the 31 five-wicket hauls, only 8 have been scored by non-Australian bowlers. Three players have achieved multiple five-wicket hauls, with Dan Christian, Peter Siddle and Ben Dwarshuis each earning two over their BBL careers.[5]

The list includes all the five-wicket hauls taken in the BBL, listed in chronological order and does not include matches played by the BBL teams in other tournaments, such as the Champions League Twenty20.
