Wales are successfully through to the semi-finals of the World Cup of Darts after defeating Australia in the third straight pairs decider.

Price though returned with a 96 checkout to force a decider where he survived and sent it to Jonny Clayton to claim the victory for Wales.
But Damon Heta produced another great display to win 4-2 against 'The Ferret' with an 102.2 average and four 180's to force a doubles decider.
This came after Clayton moved 2-1 up on Heta but 'The Heat' came back to square it up at 2-2 before Clayton missed double 16 for a 104 checkout and Heta step into break and lead 3-2 before finishing the job.
Price and Clayton though claimed it in the pairs decider with a strong 4-2 victory in which they averaged 98.8 with 40% on the doubles with two 180's as the favourites remain in proceedings going into the semi-finals.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
