In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer"[1]) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings.
This is regarded as a notable achievement,[2] and as of October 2024[update], only 54 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers.
[6][7] In Test matches, Hazlewood is most successful against India, taking 4 of his 12 five-wicket hauls against them.
[12][13] Although Hazlewood made his first T20I appearance in 2013,[4] he has not picked up a five-wicket haul in the format.
Figures of 4 wickets for 12 runs against Sri Lanka in 2022 are his best in this version of the game.
