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

The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, also known as SSC Ground, is one of the most famous cricket grounds in Sri Lanka, and the headquarters of Sri Lanka Cricket, the controlling body of cricket in Sri Lanka.[1][2] With 10,000 capacity, SSC ground is sometimes described as "the Lord's of Sri Lanka",[3]

SCC Ground hosting a Test

It hosts the most domestic finals and is an important international cricket venue. The ground staged its first test in 1984 against touring New Zealand team. The first One Day International played in 1982 against the England team.[2] The Sri Lankan team has an impressive test record here.

Up to July 2017, in total the ground has been the venue for 43 Test matches,[4] 59 One-Day International matches,[5] and 2 T20 International matches.[6]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[7][8] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[9]

The first Test was played at the SSC Ground between Sri Lanka and New Zealand on 16 March 1984.[10] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at SSC Ground was Ravi Ratnayeke, who took 5/42 in 1984 for Sri Lanka against New Zealand in very first Test of the ground. The best bowling figures to date in Tests at SSC Ground is by Sri Lankan Rangana Herath, who took 9/127 against Pakistan in 2014. This is the best bowling figures by a left hand bowler in Test cricket history as well. Total of 51 Test fifer was taken by at SSC Ground up to November 2018.

The first One Day International was played at the SSC Ground between Sri Lanka and England on 13 February 1982.[11] The first five-wicket haul was achieved by Chaminda Vaas who took 8/19 for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe in 2001.[12] Up to date, this is still recorded as the best bowling figures in ODI history and Vaas is the only player to take 8 wickets in any limited over cricket in the history. Only 3 ODI fifer was record from the ground.

The first T20 International was played at the SSC Ground on 3 February 2010 by Canada against Ireland.[13] and, to date, no any bowler was able to take T20I fifer at the ground.
