Wales, N. Ireland Reach Darts World Cup Semis

The 2025 BetVictor World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt has advanced to the semi-finals, with Wales and Northern Ireland securing spots after defeating Hong Kong and the Republic of Ireland, respectively. Welsh duo Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton are now the highest-ranked players remaining in the tournament. England, represented by Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, were eliminated in a major upset by Germany's Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko in the last 16. The group stage featured dominant performances from the Netherlands and milestone victories for Asian teams like Malaysia and Hong Kong. The tournament's unpredictable knockout format has led to upsets by teams such as the Philippines and Japan. With the field narrowing, the competition promises more drama and the potential for further surprises.
