3. Which team pulled off a major upset by defeating Afghanistan in the preliminary rounds of the 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division V?

Answer: Singapore

Singapore had every reason to feel hard done by in the aftermath of the tournament.

A big win would have seen the Singaporeans through to the semi-finals but as it stood, the Afghans progressed on net run rate.
4. Which team won the 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division V?
