It’s trophy day at the World Cup of Darts as the tournament reaches its conclusion with two bumper sessions of top tungsten action.

After two days of darting drama, the tournament is left with six of the eight seeded teams – only Northern Ireland and Austria have perished – and four mouthwatering quarter-finals will get Sunday’s live action going.

England and the Netherlands remain the only teams left to have won the tournament and both are still standing while Scotland, Belgium, Wales and Australia have all reached previous finals and will hope to go one better on Sunday night.

Top seeds Scotland have been relatively untroubled throughout, following up their 5-1 first-round win over the USA with a comprehensive victory over Brazil in Sunday’s second round.

Peter Wright’s and Gary Anderson’s hopes of a first title in the event have been boosted by the pair’s form and the departure of Austria from their quarter. They take on Japan, with Seigo Asada and Haruki Muramatsu needing to improve their doubling if they are to breach new ground in the event.
