Peter Wright defies methodical Alexis Toylo as Nathan Aspinall eases past Xiaochen Zong

The Quarter-Final line-up is set up at the 2025 Bahrain Darts Masters with both Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall through to the latter stages in Sakhir.

Albeit Wright in particular will be relieved as he saw off the methodical Alexis Toylo with a show stopping conclusion in the form of a 160 checkout. He rocked the Bahrain flag as his shirt on his World Series return but faced a player who has his own rhythm and routine.

One that he made sure to implement during the tie. Toylo who lost 6-3 in the end started with the lead before Wright leveled up at 1-1 with a 64 checkout. Missed darts at double from both allowed Wright back for 2-1 on double 18.

He made it 3-1 on double 12 and went one away at 5-1 with an 81 checkout on double 12 defying the slow pace. But the late revival was coming as Toylo broke on double 20 from 58 and held only for Wright to shut the door with a 160. He faces Paolo Nebrida tomorrow.

Nathan Aspinall ended the night as he eased past Chinese No.1, Xiaochen Zong sealing a 6-2 win with a 95 average in the process.

'The Asp' hit two 180's, 6/11 on the doubles in a polished display with Zong struggling at the outer ring at times hitting 2/8 and missing darts at key moments to force the issue further against Aspinall.

To start the tie, he pinned 112 for 3-1 on double 16 to assert his authority at the start. Zong missed 116 for 3-2 and Aspinall got a shot at 112 but couldn't hit the same target as last leg as his opponent though gave him more chances with poor doubling which he took for 4-1.

He made it 5-1 on double eight. Zong had a shot at 140 but missed it and Aspinall returned for 105. He set up 32 incase Zong didn't pin the double.

Zong made it 5-2. But Aspinall finally got over the line pinning double 20 with Luke Humphries now up next in the Quarter-Finals.
