Australia saw off the Republic of Ireland who reached the final of the World Cup of Darts last year in a superb victory.
It saw Simon Whitlock and Damon Heta team up for the first time in a superb pairing who performed well in Salzburg and for 'The Wizard', he questioned why it isn't just pairs all the way through.
"Damon's playing amazing darts, I'm playing my best darts I think right now and it's just working for us and we're good friends," said Whitlock post match.
"I haven't even looked at the draw but I think I've got the best partner and I believe we're going to win this. We're gritty, we're both playing great darts and you know what form is showing."
"It's a pairs event, why are we even playing singles."

- 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
