List of Five Wicket Hauls in WPL: The Women’s Premier League (WPL) has quickly established itself as one of the most competitive T20 leagues in world cricket. While power-hitters and record-breaking chases often dominate conversations, it is the game-changing bowling spells that have truly shaped several iconic WPL moments.
In the fast-paced world of T20 cricket, taking a five-wicket haul is a rare and exceptional achievement. It demands precision, adaptability, and nerves of steel. Since the WPL’s inaugural season in 2023, only a handful of bowlers have managed to breach this elite milestone, underlining just how special these performances are.
The journey began with Tara Norris, who scripted history by claiming the first-ever five-wicket haul in WPL. Since then, bowlers from different nations and skill sets — fast bowlers, swing specialists, and spinners — have left their mark. The most recent addition to this exclusive list is Shreyanka Patil, whose impactful spell further highlighted the growing dominance of Indian talent in the league.
Below is the complete list of five-wicket hauls in WPL history, featuring some of the biggest names in women’s cricket.
