Price reaches final with unbelievable display to see off Wright at World Series of Darts Finals

Gerwyn Price is through to the final at the World Series of Darts Finals after producing an unbelievable display to see off Peter Wright.

Price won through in an 11-6 victory with a 102.5 average to book his place in the final, defying an average of 108 with nine 180’s and 50% on doubles as ‘The Iceman’ proved unplayable at times.

Price was excellent in the opening part of the match going 4-1 up at the first interval with a 101 average and 4/4 on the doubles.

Wright returned and hit a 130 checkout to trail 4-2 with a 103.8 average but despite a fourth 180 from Wright, Price pinned double 16 to move 5-2 ahead.

At the break, Wright was 6-4 behind but averaging 108 with six 180’s to Price’s 104 in a terrific standard being set. Successive legs saw Price go 8-4 up including 102 to break.

Price made it three in a row as he hit double 10 to go 9-4 ahead as he aimed to surge into the distance. Wright stopped the rot but despite a 180 to pressure in the next leg a 100 checkout with two double 20’s saw Price go one away.

A 13-darter saw Wright kept in proceedings but a 76 checkout saw Price win through to the final.
