Complete Big Bash League 5-Wicket Hauls List

You’re no cricket fan if you don’t follow the Big Bash League (BBL) which returns every year during the Dec-Jan period and provides plenty of entertainment to the millions of cricket fans watching from across the globe. We often glorify all the records by the batters as this T20 format is known as a batsman’s game but today, we’re going to shower light on some of the best BBL bowling performances…

Before we dive into our complete Big Bash League 5-fers list, why not take a look at all individual BBL centuries?! From inception of the league with BBL 2011/12 till date, we’ve witnessed a total of 27 five-wicket hauls picked up in BBL history and almost all of them are done by different bowlers, with only Daniel Christian and Peter Siddle achieving this feat on two separate occasions each!

It’s no surprise that it was no Aussie who first achieved a BBL T20 5-fer, but legendary Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga, picking a record 6/7 in BBL 2012/13, representing Melbourne Stars at the time. Even a decade later, that spell from Malinga remains the best figures by any BBL bowler in the history of the competition. Check out our complete BBL 5-fers list (updated 9th January 2024) below:

After Malinga, New Zealand’s Ish Sodhi and Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan are the the only other bowlers to pick 6-fers in the Big Bash League. There are many overseas names in this BBL 5-fers list, though each team has an overseas limit of 2 players, showing why overseas pros are so heavily paid to be here. Sydney Thunder was the last team to pick up a BBL 5-fer, when Daniel Sams picked 5/30 in the ongoing BBL 13 season.

When a bowler does superbly well and picks 5 wickets in a T20 game, their team is almost always going to win. Notably, in 20 out of 25 cases listed above, the bowler’s team went on to win the match and the unlucky four who ended on the losing side after picking a BBL 5-fer were Sean Abbott, Josh Lalor, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Cameron Boyce, and Luke Wood.
