Littler and Humphries collide for glory

Luke Littler and Luke Humphries collide on a date with destiny in the final of the 2023/24 World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.

One of the most eagerly-anticipated finals in the 30-year history of the tournament sees a teenage sensation take on the sport’s recent dominant force for the right to become the 12th different winner of darts’ most prestigious title.

History beckons for both players as they bid to lift the Sid Waddell Trophy and scoop the £500,000 top prize to cap off an unforgettable fortnight in the capital.

Humphries is aiming to become only the third player – behind Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen – to win four major televised ranking titles in a single season, having already claimed the World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals titles.

After Dennis Priestley won the inaugural PDC World Championship in 1993/94, Littler is looking to follow in the footsteps of Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross – who both claimed glory in their debut appearance.

Littler has made global headlines by announcing himself as the most exciting 16-year-old talent in the world of sport, catapulting himself into the limelight with a series of unprecedented performances.

The reigning World Youth champion has already made history by becoming the youngest player to win a match at the PDC World Championship and has backed that up with a further five dominant displays, dropping just six sets en route to the final.

Littler thrashed 2012 Lakeside Champion Christian Kist in straight sets with a 106.12 average – the highest of any debutant in the World Championship, before dumping out UK Open champion Andrew Gilding and Canadian number one Matt Campbell.

He then dismantled his darting idol Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 in the Last 16 with 105 average, before demolishing Brendan Dolan 5-1 in the Quarter-Finals on New Year’s Day with an average of 102.

The fearless youngster put another former World Champion – Rob Cross – to the sword in the Semi-Finals, averaging 106 with the aid of 16 maximums, taking his tournament average to 101.8.

Standing between ‘The Nuke’ and a place in sporting folklore is the new world number one – bidding for his fourth major title in the space of as many months.

Humphries has emerged as the sport’s new dominant force, boasting an 18-match unbeaten record in all competitions and fully justifying his billing as pre-tournament favourite.

The 28-year-old has had to survive two huge huge scares to keep his hopes of a maiden world title alive, notably coming through a sudden death classic to edge out Joe Cullen in the final match of 2023, surviving multiple match darts in the process.

Having swept aside Lee Evans in his opener, Humphries was also forced to recover from 3-1 down to deny Germany’s Ricardo Pietreczko in a last-set decider as he defied a partisan German contingent in the crowd.

His following two matches, however, proved to be much more straightforward affairs, resulting in a 5-1 rout of Dave Chisnall with a 103.5 average and a 6-0 whitewash of a helpless Scott Williams.

His match average of 108.74 against Williams was the ninth highest in World Championship history and saw him land at least two 180s in each set.

He enters the final as the 13th different PDC world number one and could extend his lead to more than £350,000 over Michael van Gerwen with victory this evening.

Littler, meanwhile, has racked up a minimum of £200,000 to launch himself instantly into the world’s top 32 and would climb to ninth if he were to claim the crown.

The World Darts Championship final gets under way from 8pm GMT and will be contested over the best of 13 sets.
