It's the final day of World Cup of Darts action in Frankfurt with three of the seeds not making it to the quarter-finals.
Arguably the most interesting tie of the round is up first as dream makers Singapore face number 8 seeds Belgium. Paul Lim once again produced the goods yesterday, but Harith Lim going missing in the singles could be a concern; if the Asians' dream run wants to continue to tonight, they'll have to hope Kim Huybrechts reverts to jobber mode and Ronny Huybrechts gets nowhere near to repeating his 116 average from yesterday.
The other big shock from yesterday plays next with Russia against Wales. Madman Aleksandr Oreshkin was the star performer for the Ruskies as they had Kyle Anderson's complete implosion to thank for their victory yesterday. Assuming Mark Webster resumes his wibbling and wobbling and Gerwyn Price has a roid overdose, then there's every chance of another Russian upset.
The bottom half of the draw has a repeat of last year with the new-look England against "Austria". In 2016, Stoke humiliated Mensur Suljovic and Rowby-John Rodriguez 8-1 on aggregate, but with a stronger pairing this time around for Germany Jr. and mercifully no Phil Taylor for an English team who haven't been tested yet, this should be a lot closer.
The last quarter-final is a meeting of big sporting rivals as hosts Germany play the Netherlands. Max Hopp and Martin Schindler have given the Germans a new lease of life after many years of Jyhan Artut in the team, but after the Dutch duo of Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld dismantled the USA in the pairs decider, it looks as if both the Maximiser and the Wall will have to play the games of their lives to send yet another seed packing.

Sebastian Butler
Sadly can't see it happening. PDC ended their association with the soft tippers last year so he'll have to win the South Asian qualifier. Harith Lim appears to struggle when on his own.

If you were watching this for the first time, you'd think Chisnall was the experienced World Cup player and Lewis was the first timer.
