The second semi-final on Night Eight of 2022
Premier League Darts action is confirmed with
Peter Wright set to face
Jonny Clayton shortly in Birmingham with the winner facing either James Wade or Joe Cullen.
Wright punished a missed match dart in the deciding leg to see off his Scottish rival, Gary Anderson 6-5 with a 97.2 average as the World Number One aims to return to form.
He started in style smashing in a 140 checkout for the opening leg but missed darts for Anderson being a theme of the contest and he missed two to break and Wright made it 2-1.
But it was Wright's turn to miss as he made it nine in all as Anderson made it 2-2 and he produced a 132 checkout to sail into a 3-2 lead.
It was three legs on the spin as he made it 4-2 but the Wright comeback began as he smashed in a 156 checkout to make it 4-3.
Anderson came back to make it 5-4 but a decider was forced in which Wright pounced after a missed match dart to sail through.
Next up will be Jonny Clayton with the defending champion sailing through with a 6-1 thrashing of Michael Smith to complete the semi-final line-up.
He averaged 99.5 in the process in sailing through in Birmingham with three 180's and 37.5% on the doubles and will now face 'Snakebite' for a spot in the final.
