Luke Littler made an excellent debut at the World Series. The 16-year-old teenage sensation managed to reach the second round of the Bahrain Darts Masters with a 6-3 win over Man Lok Leung.

Despite seventeen misses on the doubles, Littler managed to record an average of 97.92. The losing World Championship finalist fell behind 0-2 early in the match, but came back to 2-2 with a 77 finish and a 14-darter.

Littler then stepped on the gas pedal even deeper by taking a 4-2 lead with a 151 checkout and a 136 finish. Littler then needed nine darts to make it 5-2. Leung then closed to 5-3, before Littler sealed the match with a 12-darter.

Luke Humphries had a carefree evening against Bahraini qualifier Abdulla Saeed. Saeed's highlight was a 180 score, rewarding Saeed with a fist bump from the reigning world champion. However, at 69 average, the level of the darter from Bahrain was far too low to keep up with Humphries. With a very solid performance, Humphries put a 6-0 final score on the scoreboard. 'Cool Hand Luke' did not even miss an arrow on the double throughout the match and threw an average of 98.
