Luke Humphries and Luke Littler secured their first ever win as a duo at the World Cup of Darts, defeating Spain 8-5 to book their place in the quarter-finals. The English pair, however, were far from their best and acknowledged they must raise their game to go all the way in Frankfurt.
After a nervy start, Littler and Humphries found enough composure to edge past the Spanish challenge. The victory sets up a quarter-final clash with Wales, with the tournament running until June 14 and broadcast live on Sky Sports.
Speaking after the match, both players admitted they need to improve. "We need to be better," they said, reflecting on a performance that lacked the fluency expected of the world's top talents. The English duo will now have little time to regroup before facing a Welsh side eager to cause an upset.
