Stephen Bunting set to face Wessel Nijman in final of Players Championship 24

The final of Players Championship 24 is confirmed with Stephen Bunting set to face off against Wessel Nijman shortly in Wigan.

Perhaps not the final that was expected with Bunting edging past Luke Littler with a superb double eight in the decider to see off 'The Nuke' and deny him yet another final. While Gary Anderson's relentless run is over as Dutchman, Wessel Nijman proved too good 7-5.

Both Anderson and Littler have dominated the ProTour in recent times. But Nijman and Bunting have also been superb and get the opportunity to duke it out for the title.
