In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[7] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test matches, One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals.
The first international five-wicket haul on the ground was taken in an ODI by Pakistan's Shahid Afridi who took six wickets for the cost of 38 runs (6/38) in the ground's first international match.[8] The first Test match five-wicket haul was taken by South African Morné Morkel in the grounds first Test match in 2010. Morkel took 5/54 against Pakistan.[9] The best Test match bowling figures on the ground are the eight wickets for 41 runs taken by Yasir Shah against New Zealand in 2018. Yasir went on to take another six wickets in New Zealand's second innings of the match and his match figures of 14/184 are the best in a Test match on the ground.[6][10]
The only five-wicket haul in T20I matches on the ground was taken by Imad Wasim who took 5/14 against West Indies in 2016.[11]

Notes
- The series between Pakistan and Australia was scheduled to be played in the UAE due to concerns regarding the security situation in Pakistan. Australia had cancelled a tour of the country in 2008, having not played cricket in Pakistan since 1998, and the two sides agreed in February 2009 to play the ODI and T20I series in the UAE.[1] The terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan side in early March 2009 meant that Pakistan was unable to play any international cricket at home until 2015.[2] The Australian series were played in April and May 2009, soon after the attack.[3]
- The match was abandoned after 6.5 overs of the New Zealand innings due to rain.
- Bilal Asif took his five-wicket haul on his Test match debut.
- Yasir Shah took two five-wicket hauls in the match. His first five-wicket hauls was taken in the second innings of the match and his second in the third innings after New Zealand were asked to follow on.
