In the final over of the first innings against Oman at the Sinhalese Sports Club, the stadium witnessed something superhuman. Oman’s Nadeem Khan, looking to squeeze every last run, heaved a slower ball from Brad Evans towards deep mid-wicket. It looked like it was landing safely until Brian Bennett decided to take flight.

Sprinting nearly 20 meters to his right, the 22-year-old launched himself into a full-stretch horizontal dive. For a split second, he was suspended in mid-air, parallel to the ground, before plucking the ball out of the sky with two hands. He held on even as his elbows slammed into the turf, completing a stunner that commentators are already calling the "Catch of the Tournament."

That moment of brilliance ended Oman’s innings at 103, but it did more than just take a wicket; it electrified the entire Zimbabwean side. Bennett wasn’t done, either; he later smashed an unbeaten 48 to guide Zimbabwe to a crushing 8-wicket victory.

Monday in Colombo belonged to one man. Remember the name: Brian Bennett. The T20 World Cup has officially arrived!
