It is to note that Lynn was released by his Big Bash League team Brisbane Heat lately and it looks like the batsman is here to make a statement with his performance in T20 Blast 2022. Northamptonshire won the match by 31 runs as Durham fell short of their target. Durham’s captain Ashton Turner was playing brilliantly but had to retire hurt after dislocating his shoulder which dented Durham’s inning to an extent and they ended up losing the game.
