Zimbabwe's Young Gun Aims to Surprise
8 Feb
Summary
- Brian Bennett's recent form is key for Zimbabwe.
- Zimbabwe aims for a strong start against Oman.
- Oman's bowling strength is a key factor.

Zimbabwe is set to begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Oman, aiming to prove their mettle after a previous absence from the tournament. The squad features seasoned players like captain Sikandar Raza and wicketkeeper Brendan Taylor.
A significant factor for Zimbabwe's hopes is the exceptional form of 22-year-old Brian Bennett. He was instrumental in their qualification, scoring three half-centuries and a century on home soil. His recent performances in a tri-series against Pakistan and Sri in November further solidify his crucial role.
Oman, participating in their fourth T20 World Cup, has a history of securing wins, including an initial victory in 2016. Captain Jatinder Singh will open the batting, supported by vice-captain Vinayak Shukla. The team's bowling attack, bolstered by Jiten Ramanandi, Sufyan Mehmood, and Nadeem Khan, is considered a key strength.
