Littler storms past Lim at Bahrain Darts Masters

Teenage star Luke Littler cruised into the next round of the Bahrain Darts Masters after a dominant win over Paeng Lim on Thursday in Sakhir. The World Series clash saw Littler underline his growing status as one of the game’s most dangerous players.

Littler raced through the match with heavy scoring and clinical finishing, giving Lim little room to respond. “I felt sharp from the first leg and just stayed focused,” Littler said after the win.

Lim admitted he struggled to cope with the pace, saying, “Luke didn’t let me settle at all.” Darts pundit Wayne Mardle described the display as “another warning shot from a player full of confidence.”

The victory keeps Littler firmly on course in the season-opening event as he continues his rapid rise on the global stage.
