Up to August 2016, in total the ground has been the venue for 48 One-Day International matches,[3] and 4 T20 International matches. All T20I matches were abandoned due to inclement weather.[4] Still, there was no any Test match held in the ground.
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 One Day International was played at the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium between Sri Lanka and England on 23 March 2001.[8] Since then there have been a total of 8 five-wicket hauls taken at the ground during ODIs. The first of these was achieved by Muttiah Muralitharan who took 5/23 for Sri Lanka against Pakistan in 2003, which is also the best bowling figures at the venue so far.[9] Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga is the only player to take two five-wicket hauls at the venue.
