Peter Wright is into the Last 16 of the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship where he will face Ryan Searle after producing an incredible comeback to down Damon Heta 4-2 in sets.
Wright was 2-0 down and changed his darts back and he soon flourished as he reeled off four sets in a row to complete the win with a 102 average, six 180's and a high checkout of 161.
Wrightโs change of darts was once again backfiring to begin the tie as Heta coasted to the opening set 3-1 and he was soon 2-0 down as Heta took out 84 in the deciding leg to double his lead.
โSnakebiteโ finally returned to his gold Element darts and took out 161 to halve the deficit and make it 2-1 behind in sets. He broke and took out 115 to go 2-0 up in the requisite set as he suddenly looked at parity.
A 78 checkout saw Heta hold as he stopped the rot of sorts as he looked to break to force a decider. A 140 left 80 in case Wright couldnโt pin 92 but he did to claim the set and make it 2-2.
Heta missed the bull for a 164 to break on return and Wright pinned double 20 for the lead for the first time. He pinned it to break and go one away from a 3-2 sets lead.
He pinned double five and he was suddenly one set away from victory. An 86 checkout with Heta sat on 36 saw Wright go 1-0 up and he held throw to go one away.
He wrapped it up on double 18 as he sealed an almighty comeback against the Aussie ace.

- Saying Littler failed at lakeside is a little harsh. He lost to Veenstra with a record 104 average.BandB05-12-2025
- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
