Match-Winners with the Ball: Top 10 Bowlers with Most 5-Wicket Hauls in ODIs
A five-wicket haul, commonly referred to as a "fifer," is a very unique accomplishment in the world of One Day International (ODI) cricket. It denotes a bowler's total control over the opposing team's batting order and a performance that frequently makes the difference between winning and losing. A bowler must retain control, consistency, and the ability to take wickets for the duration of a 10-over spell in an ODI, in contrast to the shorter formats.
Bowlers who have perfected this technique are praised for their ability to run through a batting order and change the outcome of a match in their team's favor. These outstanding match-winners who have developed a habit of taking five or more wickets in an innings are honored on this list.
