List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at Galle International Stadium

Galle International Stadium is a 17,000 capacity cricket ground in the Sri Lankan city of Galle. The first Test match played on the ground was between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in June 1998. Men's and women's One Day International (ODI) matches have been played on the ground and it was a venue for Twenty20 International (T20I) matches during the 2012 ICC Women's World Twenty20 competition.[1][2]

The ground viewed from the Dutch Fort which overlooks it.

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.[3] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official Test and One Day International matches.[lower-alpha 1]

The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match on the ground was Sri Lankan Kumar Dharmasena, who took six wickets for the cost of 72 runs (6/72) against New Zealand in the first Test played on the ground. His teammate Niroshan Bandaratilleke took 5/36 later in the same match.[4] As of November 2020 the best bowling figures on the ground were achieved by Muttiah Muralitharan who took 7/26 for Sri Lanka against England in 2003. Muralitharan took a total of 11 Test match five-wicket hauls on the ground, the most by a bowler at Galle.[2]

The first One Day Internationals on the ground were scheduled to be played in June 1998 as part of the 1998 Nidahas Trophy, but were all abandoned without a ball being bowled after heavy rainfall made the ground unplayable. The first ODI matches played on the ground took place the following year.[5][6] There has been only a single five-wicket haul taken in ODIs on the ground, achieved by Sanath Jayasuriya who took 5/28 for Sri Lanka against Australia in the ground's first ODI.[2][6]
