List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at the Queens Sports Club

The Queens Sports Club, located in Bulawayo, is a sports ground in Zimbabwe that has hosted international cricket matches along with provincial games. The venue is Zimbabwe's second-most used cricket ground, after the Harare Sports Club in Harare.[1] The first Test match at the venue was held between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka in 1994,[2] whereas the first ODI at the ground took place between Zimbabwe and England in 1996.[3] The first T20I was held in 2013 between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.[4]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[5][6] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[7]

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at the Queens Sports Club was Heath Streak for Zimbabwe against Pakistan. He finished the innings with bowling figures of five wickets for 70 runs, whilst Wasim Akram also took a five-wicket haul in the same match, finishing the innings with five wickets for 43 runs, with Pakistan winning by 8 wickets.[8] The best figures in Test cricket at this venue are 8 wickets for 109 runs, taken by Zimbabwean spinner Paul Strang against New Zealand in 2000.[9] As of March 2018, there have been 23 instances of five-wicket hauls recorded at the Queens Sport Club.[10]

The first ODI five-wicket haul at the ground was also taken Heath Streak in 1997 where he took five wickets for 32 runs against India.[11] The best bowling figures at the Queens Sports Club were taken by New Zealand's Shane Bond, taking six wickets for 19 runs against India in 2005.[12] As of March 2018, a total of 9 five-wicket hauls have been taken at the venue.[13]

As of March 2018, no five-wicket hauls in T20Is have been taken at the venue.
