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 by critics, especially in T20 cricket where a bowler can bowl a maximum of only 24 balls (4 overs).
The most economical five-wicket haul was taken by Wanindu Hasaranga of the B-Love Kandy, who claimed 6 wickets with an economy rate of 2.70.
[11] Hasaranga is also the youngest bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul in the Lanka Premier League, which he did in the same match, at the age of 26.
[14] The oldest bowler to grab a five-for in the LPL is Jeffrey Vandersay, who took 6 wickets for 25 runs against Kandy Warriors, on 17 December 2021, at the age of 31.
