List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Rangana Herath

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 2017 only 45 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level.[3]

Rangana Herath is a Sri Lankan slow left arm orthodox bowler who made his Test debut at Galle International Stadium against Australia in 1999. His One Day International debut came 5 years later in 2004, against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Ground. His best bowling figures are 9/127 against Bangladesh in 2014, 18th time in Test cricket a bowler took 9 or more wickets in an innings.[4] His best T20I figures of 5/3 are the third best ever in T20 Internationals.[5]

As of July 2018, Herath's 34 five-wicket hauls in Tests and one in a T20Is, ranks him seventh among all-time combined five-wicket haul takers, and second in the equivalent list for Sri Lanka, behind Muttiah Muralitharan.[3]
