PDC World Cup of Darts preview and schedule: Sunday evening session
NewsSunday, 09 June 2019 at 17:00
The final session of action is coming up at the World Cup of Darts with four teams still vying for the crown in Hamburg including the defending champions Netherlands.
Starting proceedings off though are Scotland and Japan. Two of the stand-outs of this tournament, Seigo Asada and Haruki Muramatsu have shown throughout this weekend how much the PDC Asian Tour works with them going from previously inexperienced players on the stage to real threats.
They will face their toughest test of the tournament so far though in the semi-finals with Scotland awaiting them. Gary Anderson and Peter Wright have shown themselves to be a formidable force despite Anderson not playing competitively in some time and Wright not being in the best form. The winner of the title could so easily come from this tie and it will be one that will likely go to the pairs decider.

In the second tie are also two formidable forces in this tournament. Republic of Ireland who have been anchored by William O'Connor who comes into the tournament off the back of a maiden PDC ranking title. Him and Steve Lennon are not scared of Van Gerwen as history shows and so it will be interesting.
Of course their opponents are the Netherlands who come off the back of a close tie with Canada which saw Mighty Mike the rusty of the two losing out to Dawson Murschell in his singles contest. Jermaine Wattimena performed well in both requisite matches though and has shown an experienced head despite it being his debut. Like with the previous tie, it would not be a surprise if it went the full distance.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
