China was not very convincing, much like Sri Lanka. I guess it will be KOR vs HKG in the decider.

Didn't think Afghanistan had it in them. Chinese Taipei is arguably the second weakest entrant (maybe Singapore), but I thought Afghanistan would be clearly weaker than everyone.

Also shouldn't South Korea face Singapore? They were the second best team while Singapore should be the seventh placed team.

 

Unless they ignore wins/points and only went with point differential.
