Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler Makes Impressive Debut in Bahrain Darts Masters Quarter-Finals

Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler, the 16-year-old darts sensation from Warrington, is making waves in his World Series of Darts debut at the Bahrain Darts Masters. Competing in the quarter-finals, Littler will be facing off against fellow PDC player Nathan Aspinall in what promises to be an exciting match.

Should Littler secure a victory, he will move on to the semi-finals where he will face either the world number one, Luke Humphries, or Gerwyn Price. The quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals are all scheduled to take place today in a thrilling session at The Dome within the Bahrain International Circuit.

Littler displayed his resilience and skill in his first-round match against Man Lok Leung from Hong Kong, coming back from a two-leg deficit to secure the win. Having previously made a name for himself with an impressive run to the final at the PDC World Darts Championship held in Alexandra Palace, Littler is considered the favorite going into his quarter-final clash with Aspinall.

Aspinall himself had to rely on his tenacity and a stroke of luck to secure his place in the quarter-finals. After facing a 5-3 deficit, Aspinall managed to stage a comeback against Lourence Ilagan, prevailing in a thrilling 12-darter in the deciding leg.

Littler and Aspinall’s match is set to take place at 5.15pm, and UK viewers can catch all the action on ITV4 starting from 4.30pm. The winner of this quarter-final will then progress to face either Humphries or Price in the semi-finals.

With the Bahrain Darts Masters heating up, fans from around the world are eagerly awaiting the outcome of these thrilling matches.
