The moment happened on the penultimate ball of the innings. Brad Evans rolled his fingers over a slower delivery that slanted into the stumps, tempting Nadeem Khan to step out and swing over the line. The shot was mistimed and flew towards deep midwicket. Bennett sprinted nearly 15 to 20 yards to the right, jumped full-out and plucked the ball in the air with both hands. Even after you crash onto the turf and brilliantly complete the catch. The commentator labeled the effort as the catch of the tournament.

That stunning effort capped a near-perfect bowling show from Zimbabwe, who dismantled Oman for just 103 in 19.5 overs. The speedy trio of Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava and Brad Evans proved far too much for Oman’s batters.
Oman never recovered from a bad powerplay. Muzarabani struck with his very first ball, removing captain Jatinder Singh, before Ngarava piled on the pressure. Towards the end of the fourth over, Oman were struggling at 17 for 4. Evans and Sikandar Raza later squeezed through the middle overs. There was a close tie between Sufyan Mehmood and Vinayak Shukla, which pushed the team’s total above 100. Shukla. However, Zimbabwe’s pacers accounted for nine of the ten wickets.
It is also worth noting that 103 runs is the lowest total against Zimbabwe in a T20 World Cup match. Zimbabwean seamers picked seven wickets on short balls, which is the most a team lost on such deliveries in an innings in the T20 World Cup.
