P Sara Oval is a sports ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which has hosted international cricket matches, along with many domestic games. It is the home of the Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club.[1] It has hosted international cricket matches since 1982, the first Test at the ground taking place in between Sri Lanka and England in February of that year.[2] and has been home to 20 Test matches in total.[3] P Sara Oval has also staged 12 One Day International (ODI) matches,[4] the first of which was in 1983 when the host Sri Lanka defeated Australia by 2 wickets.[5]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[6][7] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[8] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at P Sara Oval was Derek Underwood in 1982; he finished with bowling figures of 5 wickets for 28 runs. Muttiah Muralitharan currently holds most five-wicket hauls at P Sara Oval, with 4 five-wicket hauls. The best figures in Test cricket at P Sara Oval are 7 for 94, taken by Australia's Shane Warne against Pakistan in October 2002.[9] Kraigg Brathwaite of West Indies has taken the most recent five-wicket haul at P Sara Oval, with figures of 6 wickets for 29 runs against Sri Lanka in 22 October 2015.[10] As of December 2016, fourteen bowlers have taken nineteen Test match five-wicket hauls at the ground.[11]
