Luke Littler demolished Stephen Bunting 6-1 to set up a World Darts Championship final against Michael van Gerwen at Alexandra Palace on Friday, live on Sky.
Littler is into his second Worlds final in as many years and, after falling short in the big dance against Luke Humphries in 2024, he has a chance to take the final step and claim world title glory in 2025.
His stats were incredible in his semi-final display, averaging 105.48 with 13 180s and a 44 per cent success rate on the doubles.
In the opening semi-final, Van Gerwen dismantled Chris Dobey by the same margin to make it into his seventh final and give himself a chance of lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy for the fourth time.
Littler, 17, will face Dutchman Van Gerwen, 35, on Friday evening, with coverage live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Darts from 8pm.
