1:46 Dawson Murschell pulled off one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history by beating Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-final Dawson Murschell pulled off one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history by beating Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finalMichael van Gerwen suffered a first World Cup of Darts singles defeat since 2016 but recovered to beat Canada and reach the semi-finals. Van Gerwen had missed 10 darts at double in the opening leg but was still able to claim the lead with Murschell failing to even get to a finish. Murschell, the world no 100, pinned double top again for a break of throw and the lead, which he turned into the most unexpected of points via double five after the pair had traded more missed darts. With a 4-2 in the bag, Wattimena was joined by a more focused Van Gerwen as the pair had little trouble in winning the doubles for the loss of just a single leg. Four missed darts from Lennon gave Lerchbacher an opening but taking his tally of missed chance to 11, Lennon was left to mop up double two for the opening point.
