German pair advances to last-16, now faces England - Round of 16 matchup for German pairing - facing off against England
Atta boy, Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko! They've outdone themselves in the 2025 World Cup of Darts, taking down the English darts powerhouse, Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, no less! The German pair scorched the competition with an impressive 8-4 victory, much to the delight of the home crowd in an electrifying atmosphere at Frankfurt's converter Eissporthalle. What a thrilling upset this has been!
Singapore's 71-year-old legend, Paul Lim, and his partner, Phuay Wei Tan, fell victim to Schindler and Pietreczko's prowess a day prior, with the duo securing a commanding 4-0 win[1]. However, being eliminated was simply not an option for our boys in blue. The pressure was on, and they sure as hell rose to the occasion!
Glen Durrant, a former world-class professional from Scotland, also got a taste of some stiff competition in the round of 16, drawing a matchup against the Netherlands. Nothing short of impressive performances was expected in this round, with giants like Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland themselves securing their spots thanks to byes. They'll enter the fray on Saturday, with the reigning champions England carrying the weight of their World Champion, Littler, on their shoulders[2].
The crowd in Frankfurt was nothing short of boisterous when the English duo walked into the arena, with a chorus of boos echoing through the venue. Let's face it, the Germans had every reason to be pumped up – they'd snatched a massive upset, and they weren't shy about showing their pride[3][4][5].
