READ NOWThe highlight of Lynn’s match was a stunning catch on the ropes to remove Thisara Perera (20 off 12). Perera connected sweetly with a pull shot off the the bowling of Sohail Tanvir, only to be caught on the ropes by Lynn, who momentarily appeared to be running in the mid-air.
Watch Lynn’s stunning catch in the video at the top of the page.
The Australian was undone by a special bit of fielding himself in Guyana’s innings, run out spectacularly by Patriots skipper Faf du Plessis for six. Called through for a quick single by Mohammed, Lynn was caught short of his mark by a direct hit from du Plessis at short cover.
Unfortunately for the Patriots, du Plessis was caught short in the final over of the game, spilling a chance in the deep to gift the Warriors the final two runs they needed for victory.
