Next they will face Northern Ireland tomorrow after two brilliant displays from the duo who continue to prove themselves in the absence of Michael van Gerwen.
Noppert showed a sign of things to come as the UK Open champion led the team to begin the tie against William O'Connor powering past 'The Magpie' 4-1 with five 180's en route.
Three of them came in a row for Noppert at a pivotal time as he went 2-1 up with a break of throw and sealed another break in the process with a 43 checkout.
But 'Scuba Steve' Lennon was in deep waters as he aimed to secure the doubles decider and Van Duijvenbode smashed through to the final day with a 4-1 win hitting an incredible 110 average, four 180's and 4/5 on the doubles.
He charged into a 3-1 lead with a break of throw in the form of a 45 checkout averaging 110 at the time and he maintained that with a 50 checkout for a 12-darter on double eight. No Van Gerwen, no problem for the Netherlands.
