Hong Kong have cruised into the last sixteen of the 2025 World Cup of Darts, dropping just one leg across their two group matches. Man Lok Leung and Lok Ying Lee now prepare to face Sweden’s Jeffrey de Graaf and Oskar Lukasiak in the knockout round.
The duo dropped a single leg in their opening win over the USA, but looked even sharper on day two, coasting to a 4-0 whitewash against Bahrain. For Hong Kong, it marks only the third time in tournament history that they’ve advanced beyond the first round.
“This is our third year playing together at the World Cup of Darts, and it’s the first time we’ve made it out of the group stage as a team,” said Lok Leung, who famously stunned Gian van Veen at the 2024 edition.
“We complement each other extremely well,” added Lee Lok Ying. “When one of us struggles, the other steps up. And above all, we’re proud to represent Hong Kong. We want to make the people at home proud.”

Next Stop: Sweden
In the last sixteen, Hong Kong face a tough but winnable tie against Sweden. And the belief is clear.
“We absolutely believe we can go far,” said Lok Ying. “In 2015, Hong Kong reached the quarter-finals — and we’re aiming to match or even better that run.”
“Hopefully our performance here inspires young talent back home,” he added. “The future of darts in Hong Kong depends on it.”
Man Lok Leung also shared insight into his preparation for the event — including soft-tip tournaments with major prize money.
“That works well for me,” he smiled. “And hey, big prize pools are always a nice bonus!”

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
