Turkmenistan shouldn't be a problem. Indonesia beat them 4-3.

This is last match of group phase I think. I really hope Afghan brothers will join us in Australia, this should be between them and Palestine from the other group.

Afghanistan recently won an award in "Sports Oscars" for cricket; I was watching the ceremony this morning on NBC.
