CHENNAI: (Feb 27) He fell three runs short of a T20 World Cup hundred but Zimbabwe opener Brian Bennett said that while it would have been nice to reach the milestone, he is grateful for his unbeaten knock which was the lone spark in his team’s chase against India.

Bennett’s 97 not out (59 balls; 8 fours, 6 sixes) went in vain as Zimbabwe lost by 72 runs against a rampant India, who piled up a massive 256 for four before restricting the visitors to 184 for six in their T20 World Cup Super 8 clash here.

“Yeah, it would have been nice. Cricket is just like that sometimes, I’m not always going to get to that landmark. Just grateful for today, to get out there and put on a good innings, but couldn’t get over the line… 250 (257) was going to be a tough one to win,” the 22-year-old told reporters.
