Afghanistan after losing the opener, are now atop the points table.

Should they win their 3rd straight WCL championship (won Divisions 5 and 4 already), they will be in the World Cup Qualifying tournament (the new ICC Trophy).

I would really like to see them playing in the next World Cup. The only sad thing is that Nepal lost in Division 5 or 4. South Asia needs some more representation.

The top teams who are fighting for the last 4 spots in the 2011 WC are:

Ireland
Scotland
Kenya
Canada
Bermuda
Holland
Hong Kong
Uganda
Papua New Guniea

Realistically, the Afghans are probably stronger than all of those teams except Ireland, Scotland, Kenya, and Canada. Holland too might be added on that list. But a few good days could see the Afghans in the top 4, and then they'd be in the World Cup.
