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. This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test and One Day International matches. The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match on the ground was Zimbabwean Heath Streak against Pakistan in 1995. Streak took five wickets for 70 runs, with Pakistan's Wasim Akram also taking a five-wicket haul later in the same match. The best figures in Test cricket on the ground are the 8/109 taken by Zimbabwean spinner Paul Strang against New Zealand in 2000. Team-mate Adam Huckle has the best match figures in Test cricket on the ground, taking 11 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls, against New Zealand in 1995. The first ODI five-wicket haul on the ground was also taken by Streak, who took 5/32 against India in 1997.
