No semi-final for Dimitri van den Berg in New Zealand. In Hamilton, the 17-year-old Englishman from Antwerp lost to Luke Littler (6-4).
It was the youngster who gave the best start. After four legs he already had a 3-1 lead. Later, van den Berg delivered some spectacular footwork.
With two 11-darters and best shots of 80 and 89, he leveled the scores again at 4-4.
But the talented Littler bounced back and he was able to finish the morning with an excellent 11-darter and 97 runs.
With an average of nearly 104 (van den Berg 99.48) and an impressive check-out average of 85.7 per cent (over 57 per cent with van den Berg), the Englishman’s size is huge.
