Both games threw away his commander, which is frankly large.

Neither game use racketeer to snipe out critical defenses or heavy units.
Did not use and burrowed snitches to help deal with possible archer raids.

Was economically focused, almost always having more income than their opponent, but almost never having more local forces because the economy had yet to pay-off.

This frankly, to me, seems like a balanced matchup where benny is just a the bit better player.

Pet loses first builder early, builds 2 caretakers at 20m/s, no rogues etc. Losing com to ducks was not that good either and could have been avoided.
Where this battle has too many shields, https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1002966 has too few. There is no balance in the unit-composition.
I don`t think it is easy to say something about the matchup here.
