Dave Chisnall and Michael van Gerwen have a joint past dating back to June 2011, since then the matches have met a total of 59 times and the Dutch have won 48 times. The Dutchman, who has defended a 27-match series of battles (!) Against Chizzy and has not come out of it since the 2013 World Grand Prix in a major television competition.

Despite the eternal balance, and watching Chisnall’s performance so far, it was up in the air that the Englishman might surprise MVG, but probably few expected that mid-game he would have to talk about whether Van Gerwen would win a set in the match.

I do not win.

Chisnall won the first game with a round average of 112.14, followed by 107.85 at 2-0 after the second. Van Gerwen came closest in the third act to winning a set, but to no avail he threw a 150 out, Chizzy took that game in the final. The English player was then averaging 103 and already in nine rounds of 180.

At the end of the fourth game, the matches dazzled us with a series of sensational shots: Chisnall made a mistake on D12 after eight perfect arrows, after which Van Gerwen rounded it from 181 to 40 points by shooting that starting combination (141 points T20 , T19, D12), that Chizzy should have circled earlier for the nine arrows. However, the Englishman was not surprised by MVG’s classic draw and finished this set with a double 6 as well.

Theatricality, exhibition game and EIGHT PERFECT DARTS! Is that one of the best legs we’ve seen on stage from Ally Pally?

In the final game, Chisnall crowned his superhuman performance: he closed the match with an average of 115.06, a start of 130 and a start efficiency of one hundred percent (3/3). It should be added that Van Gerwen did not play at the highest level, but he would hardly have managed to beat anyone else 5-0. The difference is entirely to Chisnall’s credit.

“I am very proud Chisnall said after the game. – The game has been going well in the last three or four weeks. When I woke up this morning, I felt confident. Michael did not give his best, throwing many times over the triple field. I haven’t been on the radar in the last two years. “

Chisnall in the first World Cup semi-final of his life Gary Andersonnal playing Saturday, they have lost 19 of their 25 games so far against him. And let’s not stop saying that Van Gerwen came out for the second time without a winning set in a World Cup match; the first such match was at the 2009 World Cup against Phil Taylor (0: 4).

“I knew beforehand that it was going to be a tough match because when Dave gets fit, you have to work really hard to beat him, but this time I couldn’t show anything.” Van Gerwen said. – I have been disappointed, I am very disappointed, I have to re-evaluate this in the next few days. Dave played the best he could. “

More details coming soon!
