3. First 5-Wicket haul In ODI World Cup

Many believe that the legendary fast bowler Dennis Lillee was the first-ever bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in ICC ODI World Cup in 1975. The fact is that he was the first male cricketer to achieve it but the record belongs to Tina Macpherson. The fast bowler of Australia’s women’s team had snaffled five wickets a few years before Lillee against England.

Tina Macpherson in that match gave away just 14 runs in 12 overs and picked 5 wickets. She bowled as many as 7 maiden overs which has still rarely happened in cricket.
