5 memorable moments from the West Indies-Afghanistan match that don't fade away

Afganistan had played some very spirited cricket prior to their match against West Indies, but had failed to cross the line despite their exploits. However, on Sunday, the Afghans finally managed to cross the line, defeating the West Indies by 6 runs in Nagpur round-off their tournament on a note.

One can certainly say that memories of the West Indies – Afghanistan match will not fade away, quite like the Axe Signature line of body perfumes.

Here are 5 memorable moments from the match:

1. Ramdin’s almost brilliant catch

There was drama as early as the second ball of the Afghanistan innings when Usman Ghani tried to flick a leg-side delivery from Andre Russell, only to be caught down the leg side by Denesh Ramdin.

The umpires gave it out after everybody went up in appeal. However, the keeper indicated that he wasn't sure whether he had taken it cleanly and so the umpires decided to go upstairs. Replays indicated that as he landed down after taking the catch, the ball had hit the turf and as a result, umpire Bruce Oxenford had to overturn his decision.
