List of five-wicket hauls in women's One Day International cricket
A women's One Day International is an international cricket match between two teams, each having WODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council. In a WODI match, the two teams play a single innings, each of which is restricted to a maximum of 50 overs. The first WODI matches were played as part of the 1973 Women's Cricket World Cup held in England, two years after the first men's One Day International was contested between Australia and England in January 1971. A five-wicket haul refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. The first two five-wicket hauls in WODIs were taken on 23 June 1973, as part of the Women's World Cup. Australia's Tina Macpherson and New Zealand's Glenys Page both achieved the feat as part of their teams' victories over Young England and Trinidad and Tobago respectively. Macpherson and Page are two of only five players to take a five-wicket haul during their WODI debut, the others being India's Purnima Choudhary, Laura Harper of England and Felicity Leydon-Davis from New Zealand.
The most recent five-wicket haul, as of 2019, was taken by Anisa Mohammed of the West Indies against India at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua in November 2019. Suthershini Sivanantham has taken the most economical five-wicket haul with an economy rate of just 0.21. Bowling for Sri Lanka, she took five wickets for just two runs against Pakistan at Moors Sports Club Ground in Colombo in January 2002. The least economical five-wicket haul was taken by South Africa's Suné Luus with an economy rate of 6.70. Despite Luus taking figures of 5 wickets for 67 runs off her 10 overs at the County Ground in Taunton during the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, South Africa lost the match to Australia – one of only nine occurrences that did not result in a victory to the team taking the five-wicket haul. There have been two occasions where two five-wicket hauls have been taken in the same match. The first was during the 2005 Women's Cricket World Cup in South Africa. India's Neetu David took figures of 5/32 in the first innings with Louise Milliken of New Zealand taking 5/25 to lead her side to victory. The other was during the 2007 Women's European Cricket Championship in Deventer where Annemarie Tanke of the Netherlands finished with 5/40. In reply, Ciara Metcalfe returned career best figures of 5/18 to help steer Ireland to victory.
Mohammed tops the list as the only bowler to have achieved the feat six times. She is followed by Katherine Brunt of England with five five-wicket hauls, Australian Cathryn Fitzpatrick and South Africa's Suné Luus with four and New Zealand's Holly Huddleston and Ellyse Perry of Australia with three. Fitzpatrick is also the oldest player to achieve to take a fifer, taking her final five-wicket haul seven days short of her 38th birthday. Five bowlers have taken a seven-wicket haul in a WODI, with Pakistan's Sajjida Shah returning the best figures in the format with seven wickets for just four runs. Playing in the 2003 IWCC Trophy against Japan in their debut WODI match, Shah is also the youngest bowler, aged just 15 years and 168 days, to take five wickets in an innings. The other four to take seven wickets in an innings are Jo Chamberlain of England who took 7/8 against Denmark during the 1991 European Women's Cricket Championship; Mohammed who took 7/14 in a player of the match performance to help the West Indies win the final of the 2011 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament against Pakistan, Perry who took 7/22 in the third WODI against England during the 2019 Women's Ashes series and Australia's Shelley Nitschke who finished with 7/24 during the 2005 Women's Ashes series. A further ten players have taken a six-wicket haul.
, 107 five-wicket hauls have been taken by 72 different players from 1,174 WODI matches. Players from every team which currently holds WODI status have taken five-wicket hauls. Of the teams that are still active but no longer hold WODI status only the Netherlands have had a player take five wickets in an innings. No players from teams that previously competed in WODIs but are no longer active have achieved the feat. England lead the list with 22 five-wicket hauls, followed by Australia with 20 and New Zealand, 19. Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln, New Zealand, leads the list of where the most five-wicket hauls have been taken with nine, ahead of the Derby County Cricket Ground with four.
