Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium is a cricket ground in Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates. The ground was opened in 2004 and its first official top-level international match was held in 2006, India playing Pakistan[lower-alpha 1] in a One Day International (ODI) on the ground.[lower-alpha 2] The grounds first Twenty20 International (T20I) was played in February 2010 and its first Test match saw Pakistan host South Africa in November the same year.[lower-alpha 3][3] As of March 2020 no women's international cricket has been played on the ground.[4]

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.[5] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test matches and One Day Internationals.[lower-alpha 4]

The first five-wicket hauls in top-level international cricket on the ground was taken by Australian bowler Doug Bollinger who took five wickets at a cost of 35 runs (5/35) in an ODI against Pakistan in 2009.[6] The first Test match five-wicket haul was taken by Pakistan's Tanvir Ahmed in the ground's first Test. Tanvir took six wickets for 120 runs on his Test match debut.[7] The best Test match innings bowling figures are the 6/25 taken by Pakistani Abdur Rehman against England in 2012.[4][8]

Notes

  1. India hosted some home One Day International matches in the UAE.[1]
  2. The ground has hosted its first international match in 2004 when Scotland played Kenya in the final stages of the 2004 ICC Intercontinental Cup, a series of first-class cricket matches between sides which did not have Test status. These matches are not considered top-class international matches and so are excluded from the lists in this article.
  3. Pakistan did not play any international cricket at home between March 2009 and 2015 as a result of the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan side.[2] Grounds in the UAE have been used as home grounds by the country since 2009 with some visiting sides still reluctant to play cricket in Pakistan.
  4. As of March 2020 no five-wicket hauls have been taken in T20I matches on the ground.
  5. This match was part of the 2018 Asia Cup.
  1. Tanvir Ahmed took his five-wicket haul on his Test match debut.
  2. Adil Rashid took his five-wicket haul on his Test match debut.
  3. Herath took two five-wicket hauls in the match.
  4. Mohammad Abbas took two five-wicket hauls in the match.
  5. Hasan Ali and Yasir Shah took five wicket hauls in the same innings.
