Should Van den Bergh make it through his first round, a showdown with Luke Littler awaits in the quarterfinals. The 17-year-old teenage sensation will play against Jonny Tata, who narrowly beat Peter Wright in the first round last year. This time around, Wright will face off against with Daniel Snookes in the opening round.
Reigning world champion Luke Humphries plays his first-ever match on New Zealand soil against 24-year-old Kayden Milne. For Michael Smith, a duel with Jeremy Fagg is scheduled.
Rob Cross faces Haupai Puha once again.

There is also an Australian clash between Damon Heta and Simon Whitlock.
