Germany, Scotland, Wales and Belgium will decide on Sunday night who will run away with the title at the
World Cup of Darts. The semi-finals start at 18:00, followed by the final later in the evening.
Only Scotland and Wales have won the tournament in the past. In 2019,
Gary Anderson and
Peter Wright won the cup for Scotland, while Wright was also a tournament winner along with John Henderson in 2021.
In between,
Gerwyn Price and
Jonny Clayton became champions in 2020. Belgium made it to the final in 2013, but brothers
Kim Huybrechts and Ronny Huybrechts had to acknowledge their superiority to England at the time. Germany never got beyond the semi-finals.
After thrillers against the Netherlands (8-7) and defending champion Australia (8-7), another cracker awaits the Belgian duo
Dimitri van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts against Wales.
In the second semi-final, the Germans take on Scotland.
Martin Schindler and
Gabriel Clemens caused a surprise in the quarter-finals by eliminating first-ranked England (8-3). Scotland, on the other hand, were too strong for France (8-0) and thus wasted little energy.
What is the distribution of prize money at the World Cup of Darts?
There will be £450,000 in prize money during this pairs tournament. The event has a higher prize pool than last year. A total of £100,000 has been added to the prize money to be distributed.
