Luke Humphries and Michael Smith helped England land a record-breaking fifth World Cup of Darts title and first since 2016 with a 10-6 victory over Austria.
The dream team of Luke Humphries and Michael Smith gave England a record-breaking fifth World Cup of Darts title and first since 2016 with a 10-6 victory over Austria. World Cup debutant Humphries and 2023 world champion Smith delivered the goods to secure England's first World Cup triumph in eight years.
A 180 from Humphries then set up Smith, who had struggled with his doubles early on, to take out double 15 before finishes of 130 and 112 from Humphries took England to the brink of victory. Suljovic took out 98 to keep the match alive but Smith sealed the win on double eight in the next leg. England deserved to be crowned champions'No one has got within four legs of England, they've been that dominant,' said Mark Webster, a 2010 World Cup of Darts finalist for Wales.
