Luke Littler* 1-0 Luke Humphries
180 land for Littler on his second visit.
A dart bounces off the board on his return, a few for him in recent weeks which hands Humphries a look out a finish position.
He dose not take and Littler hits the double 6 to open this encounter.
Finale
Both have set the standard for darts this last 12-24 months and continue to do so.
Even in a relative off night, they are by far the best two in the elite field.
Implications on the standings are minimal as the two are certain of their O2 spot and a win for Littler would guarantee the already-known: top spot.
TV lot are backing Humphries and it’s weird one because neither have played anywhere near their best stuff for any sustainable period of time tonight.
Yet, you would not be surprised if they pulled it all out for this encounter.
The latest instalment of dart’s hottest ticket, Littler vs Humphries is upon us.
