England has won the World Cup of Darts. Luke Humphries and Michael Smith were too strong for Austria in the final, 10-6.
For England, it is the fifth overall victory at the World Cup of Darts, but the first since 2016. In addition, it is the first time a duo other than Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis has won the overall victory for England.
“This is the biggest buzz I’ve felt since the World Championship,” said Humphries. “We really wanted this. We really believed we could win it, and when you’ve got the world number one and world number three playing together, it’s a bit of a cheat code!
“After that first game on Saturday we just clicked. We knew if we played our best we could win this title, and I just hope we get to come back to defend this title as champions next year.”
For Michael Smith, in his fifth appearance at the World Cup of Darts, it finally hit the mark
Gold medal
For now, Smith was not having the best year of his career, but was beaming after winning the World Cup of Darts. “This is what I’ve always wanted. I’ve finally got my gold medal now,” said Smith.
“It is hard to put into words how much this means. England are World Cup champions again and it’s not just Phil and Adrian, it’s now Luke and Michael as well.
“Hopefully now that gives me the confidence to kick on. I know my game is starting to come, and now I’m going into the World Matchplay as a World Cup champion!”
