PDCFriday, 16 June 2023 at 14:05
The World Cup of Darts continues with Portugal now out of contention as are Switzerland in Frankfurt, with opening wins for Sweden, Lithuania and revived hopes for New Zealand.
Jose de Sousa and Luis Ameixa lost out to Poland last night who will now face Lithuania in a winner takes all clash and the former set the tone miscounting in the opening leg en route to a 4-1 loss.
Darius Labanauskas and Mindaugas Barauskas again teamed for the fifth year running and their cohesion was shown with some superb checkouts.
After that miscount Portugal soon found themselves 2-0 down. A 35 checkout saw Ameixa make it 2-1.
Barauskas snuffed away any opportunity for Portugal and hitting double 18 for 3-1. An 86 checkout saw Labanauskas seal it with 4/6 on the doubles.
While before that, Sweden ended any hopes of Switzerland moving through with a 4-1 triumph as Dennis Nilsson and Oskar Lukasiak will now face the superb Italians later in order to move through.
For Marcel Walpen and Stefan Bellmont, they now head home but New Zealand will not yet.
They eased past Bahrain duo Basem Mahmood & Abdulnasser Yusuf who were making their debut after the World Series at the turn of the year with a 4-1 win for Robb and Parry.
Parry started the must win tie hitting double 16 to lead 1-0 for New Zealand. He hit a 180 to take control in the next leg and an 81 checkout saw them 2-0 up.
Parry and Robb missed six darts to go one away and Bahrain got on the board at 2-1 down. Robb finally sent them one away at 3-1.
A 140 from Robb saw him set up Parry to finish the tie off.
