The world’s number one and two players faced off for the right to play Gary Anderson in the Champions League final. Van Gerwen stormed into a 2-0 lead, holding throw with tops then breaking with an 84 finish on double 11. The Dutchman comfortably held once more before Wright registered his first leg of the contest.
“MVG” matched the best leg of the tournament by firing in a majestic ten darter to continue his dominance. The quality continued as Wright finished 96, audaciously finishing with tops and double 18. At the first break, Van Gerwen led 5-2 with a 25 kill after wiring the bull for a 164.
“Snakebite” produced the game’s second 84 finish as he arrowed his third dart into the bullseye. The world number two broke in the next leg and equalised with another bull finish on 130 to maintain a 100% checkout rate. “Mighty Mike” restored his advantage by holding his throw then breaking with an 88 finish to go 7-5 up. The Scotsman missed his first double which allowed Van Gerwen to capitalise and go three ahead.
Wright held and then broke with a double 16 finish to reduce the deficit to a single leg. The Scot levelled before planted his third bull finish of the match with an 83 to go 9-8 up. “Snakebite” finished clinically to go one from victory before a brilliant 92 finish on double eight to reach the final.

- 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
