The National Stadium is a cricket ground in Karachi, Pakistan.[1] The first Test match played at the National Stadium was in 1955 between Pakistan and India.[2] The most recent Test match hosted by the ground, was played in January 2021.[3] The ground has also hosted 48 One Day Internationals (ODIs), the first of these was in 1980 between Pakistan and the West Indies.[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.
51 five-wicket hauls in tests[5] have been taken at the ground. Indian Gulabrai Ramchand took the first such haul on the ground in 1955. Imran Khan's 8/60 in 1982 against India are the best bowling efforts in an innings.
7 five-wicket hauls in ODIs[6] have been taken at the ground. Waqar Younis took the first such haul on the ground in 1990. Ajantha Mendis's 6/13 in 2008 against India in 2008 Asia Cup are the best bowling efforts in an innings.
The stadium also maintains an honor board.[7]
