Netherlands' duo of Michael van Gerwen and Dirk van Duijvenbode will face off against Scotland's Peter Wright and John Henderson in a mouth watering clash in the World Cup of Darts Quarter-Finals.

It was Singapore in the Last 16 for the duo and it was a 2-0 win after singles success for both Van Gerwen and Van Duijvenbode.
It was team captains up first as Van Gerwen faced Paul Lim and in a match which on paper could produce, it was the latter that was out of sorts.
He hit a 75.5 average in being whitewashed by 'The Green Machine' 4-0 who averaged 88.4 in the end.
This put it down to Harith Lim who sent Dirk van Duijvenbode all the way to a decider and both Van Gerwen and Lim were setting up for a pairs decider.
But in the end, 'The Titan' prevailed to avert any late drama in Jena.
To begin their tie, Harith Lim hit a 111 but Van Duijvenbode returned for a 106 to make it 2-2 to leave it finely poised early on between the pair.
It was the former that edged ahead with a hold of throw in the form of a 39 checkout to make it 3-2. But it went all the way with a leg to decide whether it would be victory for Netherlands or Singapore taking it to pairs.
Van Duijvenbode was smashing in the treble 20's and he gained match darts only to spurn two at double 18 from a 96 checkout.

Lim slipped into treble eight from an 83 checkout and Van Duijvenbode was allowed to return for double nine and the victory.

- He wasn't "offered £501,000 to face Luke Littler". He was allowed to audition for the chance. That's not the same. Literally like saying I was offered a no.1 single, when actually I decided not to attend an open casting for the X factor.BandB13-09-2026
- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
