ENGLAND INTO THE FINAL 🏴 Rob Cross survives five match darts from Dimitri van den Bergh to close out a 4-3 victory and put England into a sixth World Cup final at the expense of Belgium! #WorldCupofDarts England 2️⃣-0️⃣ Belgium
Rob Cross and Michael Smith have booked England's place into the final at the World Cup of Darts after defeating Belgium in the semi-finals.
Smith put his nation on a 1-0 lead as he beat Kim Huybrechts in a leg-decider. Huybrechts missed the double 18 for the match, before Bullyboy pinned the double 6 for the match.
Cross started with a break in his game against Dimitri van den Bergh, but the reigning World Matchplay champion broke back with a 18-dart leg. In the sixth leg Van den Bergh had one chance to win the second singles match, but he wired the bullseye. The Belgian missed five another chances in the seventh leg, before Cross hit the double 2 with his fourth match-dart to bring England in the final.
The Final will be played as two best of seven leg 501 Singles matches, with both nations nominating the order in which their players play the first two matches, followed by a best of seven leg 501 Doubles match and then Reverse Singles matches. The first team to win three games is declared the winner.
