Ten-wicket haul (Redirected from 10 wickets in a match)
In cricket, a ten-wicket haul occurs when a bowler takes ten wickets in either a single innings or across both innings of a two-innings match. The phrase ten wickets in a match is also used.
Taking ten wickets in a match at Lord's earns the bowler a place on the Lord's honours boards.
Ten wickets in a single innings
Taking all ten wickets in a single innings is rare. It has happened only three times in Test cricket.
Ten wickets across both innings of a match
Taking ten wickets across both innings of a match is more common, but is still a notable achievement. The bowler to achieve this feat the most in Test cricket was Muttiah Muralitharan, who did so 22 times.
