#2 Miss: Chris Lynn

Chris Lynn has had a pretty disappointing tournament so far. After recovering from another shoulder injury, Lynn made a return to competitive cricket after 2 months when he played the first game this season.

He might have had scores of 22, 49 and 31 in the last three innings, but in each of those knocks, he looked quite scratchy. It was very unlike Lynn as he was struggling, especially against spin.

In this game, Lynn once again opened the batting. But he was dismissed for a second-ball duck by Krishnappa Gowtham. He looked to back away as Gowtham targeted the stumps with a shortish delivery. Lynn missed and the stumps were shattered, making it the third time that the hard-hitting Australian batsman was dismissed against spin in this season.

It was a night to forget for Lynn as he had also dropped a simple catch in the last over of the RR innings.
