Van Barneveld started it off against Whitlock hitting a 102.8 average, 21 140s and four ton-plus checkouts
on his way to victory. The five-time World Champion admitted after his quarter-final win that his set up is brilliant and that showed in this game.
Van Gerwen on the other hand continued where he left off with a demolition of Peter Wright. It was 10-3 to the World Number One who will be hoping to bounce back after recent disappointing results.
A 102.7 average, 50% on the doubles and high checkouts of 170 and 164
showed that Mighty Mike is a force to be reckoned with in this all-Dutch final and is on course for a first World Series title of the year. Click here for more information on the Auckland Darts Masters.
