It depends on the discretion of the umpire.

Benefit of doubt is only given to the batsman and not the bowler.

Holdon is spot on. There is nothing in cricket laws to suggest "benefit of doubt". An umpire will give a batsman out if he is convinced a batsman is out. That's it.
The grey area is however in boundary decisions where the third-umpire has to decide if the ball rouched the rope and similar decisions.
The term "benefit of doubt" is a creation of commentators.

There is no such thing as benefit of the doubt in cricket.
An umpire must be sure beyond any doubt the batsman is out to give him, if they are not, then the batsman MUST be given not out.
Its nothing about benefit, its a written rule.

benifit of doubt definately goes in favour of the bats man because
the batsman gets only one chance - that is if he is given out(incase of a doubt)- thats it -he has to go back to pavilion.
if the batsman is given not out(incase of a doubt) then the bowler has plenty of chances to bowl at him again and to get him out in the remaining overs.
so bats man gets only one chance.
so benifit of doubt definately goes to the batsman
