Luke Humphries and Luke Littler will play the final of the darts world championship on Wednesday evening. The 28-year-old Englishman was much too strong for his compatriot Scott Williams (6-0) in his semi-final, who surprised Michael van Gerwen (5-3) in the quarter-finals. The 16-year-old Littler left little room for Rob Cross (6-2), the 2018 world champion.
Luke against Luke will be a confrontation between the best darts player of this year and the teenager who is now sometimes reminiscent of Phil Taylor, who with sixteen world titles is still considered the best darts player ever. Humphries had already escaped elimination a few times at this World Cup, but was there again in the semi-final battle. Darts sensation Littler almost has a subscription to averages of 105 points and higher at this World Cup.
Humphries finally reached his high level of the last few months against Williams. ‘Cool Hand Luke’ finished the semi-final with an average of 108.74 points, Humphries scored 180 points fourteen times. Littler beat Cross with an average of 106.05 points. Littler threw the maximum score of 180 sixteen times and threw 140 27 times.
