T20 WC: Brian Bennett Leaves World Cup Stage With Reputation Vastly Enhanced
T20 World Cup: Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza and head coach Justin Sammons heaped praise on opener Brian Bennett after the 22-year-old had a breakthrough Men’s T20 World Cup campaign, with both suggesting the best is still very much to come from a player who has quietly emerged as one of the most exciting young batters in world cricket.
Bennett finished the tournament as Zimbabwe's standout performer with the bat, with his 292 runs record run-tally for a batter from his country at T20 World Cups. Dismissed for 15 on Sunday against South Africa - caught at mid-off off Anrich Nortje - it was one of the few times this tournament that the young opener had been stopped before doing some serious damage, with his unbeaten 97 against India being the standout knock.
Raza, typically generous in deflecting credit away from himself, heaped rich praise on Bennett, who averaged 146 in the competition with three fifties. "First of all, credit to Brian Bennett, his family, his mum and dad, the way they have raised him as a fine human being, and his early coaches that have worked with him.
