Evans breezes past Kumar to set up Gurney clash at PDC World Darts Championship
PDC
Ricky Evans will face off against Daryl Gurney in the second round of the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship after breezing past Nitin Kumar in a 3-0 victory.
Evans averaged 96.2 in seeing off the Indian Qualifier with high checkout of 167 and 130 and four 180's as he produced a good display on his return to the stage.
Evans began to warm up and pinned a 180 en route to a 2-1 lead before smashing a 167 on the bull for the set.
He missed darts to break in the opener but wasn't punished by Kumar and 'Rapid' returned for the lead. A 60 checkout saw him double that as he went one away from a two set lead.
A rapid fire 68 saw Evans go one away from second round. A 48 checkout saw him go one up in the third set. He pinned a 180 but Kumar pinned an 88 checkout to level up.
But he soon went one away with double 20. With Kumar sat on double 20 for the win, Evans hit a 130 to claim victory.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
