England squeeze past Singapore to set up Quarter-Final clash with Belgium in World Cup of Darts
NewsSaturday, 02 June 2018 at 20:15
England's pair of Rob Cross and Dave Chisnall are through but could have so easily have been dumped out of the competition at the second round stage. This was due to it going the distance to a pairs decider which won't make one of the top seeds in the World Cup of Darts as confident heading into a Quarter-Final with Belgium.
It started off with the evergreen Paul Lim who every single time he competes in a PDC tournament rolls back the years. He defeated Rob Cross in a stunning win which could have been a main catalyst towards a shock at the World Cup of Darts. It was a 4-2 victory where 'The Singapore Slinger' averaged 103.5.
Chisnall then faced Harith Lim winning 4-2 but he was pushed to the limit in a game that had huge ramifications. It went to the pairs and Paul Lim lacked his scoring which saw him past Cross; that meant that England could win the match easier than expected.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
