It does harm plant to water in the sun. During sunlight the stomata are wide open for gaseous exchange and this increases the rate of transpiration by the plant. Now if you water this plant, the air present in the soil will be replaced by water and roots will find it difficult to get enough oxygen for their respiration. Lesser respiration by the roots will absorb lesser water from the soil and wilting will take place.

Additionally, water droplets on the leaves can act as mini-magnifying glasses concentrating the rays of the sun and causing blemishes on the leaves (some plants are more prone to this than others).

Only if the water lies on the leaves then this magnifies the sun's rays and will scorch the leaf. The water will have more effect in early morning or after sundown as the plant can take it in better.

Why do crop die?

Too much sun can burn leaves and harm the plant's cells. The sun provides energy for the plant along with vitamins. With not enough sun the plant can't get nutrition. Too much water drowns the plant. Not enough water will keep plants from getting nutrition and hydration. Without necessities for life plants cannot make chlorophyl, which causes the green color, making them turn brown and shrivel up.
