He will take against former world champion Rob Cross on Tuesday night after defeating Dolan. With two more wins, he would have completed one of the greatest athletic tales.

The 16-year-old hasn’t shown many symptoms of nervousness in his games thus far, but in the opening game, Dolan broke his throw. After making it 2-0, the Northern Irishman gained command of the opening set, but Littler once more displayed steely grit to win two legs on the spin to tie the match.

Littler began the first set’s decisive leg with a maximum throw, and he never let up to notch the opening with an average that was just under .

By making it to the final eight, “The Nuke” had already earned a cool £50,000, but he also had the opportunity to quadruple his gains in addition to a semi-final spot. And in the second, Dolan, who had never advanced past this point, found himself under pressure and broke the throw with a flawless 100 checkout.

The Ally Pally audience went wild as he brought his break together with a 12-dart leg on his own toss. Littler then thoroughly closed off the second set by breaking Dolan once again. By the conclusion of it, the difference in the two players’ averages was almost thirty points.

The second set began with Littler holding his throw, but the History Maker’s timely 87, finishing on the bull, ended a streak of seven straight legs going against him. Subsequently, he took command of the third throw, intercepting Littler’s throw to indicate that he was aiming for the set. However, Dolan, who was sitting at 32, produced another tonne-plus finish to even the score and guarantee that there would be a second deciding leg in three sets.

But Dolan came all the way back and smashed a top shot on 298 to take a 3-0 lead, so there was no sense of danger in that leg.

Before it took on a similar pattern with Littler breaking in the crucial third leg and then completed the job to move only one set away from another historic triumph, both players held their throws to begin the fourth.

But as the finish line came into view, some careless finishing gave Dolan an early advantage over the darts in the fourth set. And he eventually made his mark, winning 3-1 by maintaining his composure through a sophisticated tonne-plus finish.

Littler ended any talk of a stunning comeback in the first set by breaking the throw with an incredible 140 checkout, winning the last set 3-1.

Littler boldly stated following the victory that he had a strong chance of creating further history and winning the title of world champion. “I’m making my debut in the semi-final. I’m happy to be here because I deserve it. I have a decent possibility of succeeding if I continue in this manner. Undoubtedly, I’m considering taking home the crown.

“I believed you were only one away at 4-0. Then Brendan returned. I think my board management is among the finest. I am aware of my goals and when to give up.

In another intriguing match, he will now play Rob Cross, the last player to win the Sid Waddell trophy in his first campaign, in the last four. despite yet another incredible quarter in which he got off the ground and defeated Chris Dobey despite trailing by four sets, Cross advanced to the semifinals. “On his debut, he was amazing, and I agree. About his upcoming opponent, Littler said, “I can’t wait to play him.”

Cross acknowledged that he would start the tie as the underdog, but he understood that neutrals would be rooting for the other player on the oche. He declared, “Everyone loves an underdog story.” Everyone enjoys an underdog narrative, including members of the public and viewers of the game.

“I adore an underdog narrative, so I’m not being disrespectful; I’m on his side. It also relieved some of the pressure on me to win it the first time.

“He’s a wonderful little boy who deserves all the luck in the world. He’s fantastic.” However, I had to go down to business since tomorrow we are playing darts.

Analyst John Part of Sky Sport says, “He was great all the way.” He does his job with proficiency. He was the one who stated it. I have said as much. He’s intelligent and not a fresh face. He’s had experience with darts. He is not elderly. He’s played for a very long time. He is a darts master.

He went on, “You would expect that type of performance if you look at an MVG play or a Gerwyn Price. That concludes our discussion. However, when it seems to be coming out of nowhere, it can be unsettling, distracting, and unsettling in settings where you wouldn’t ordinarily feel uncomfortable.
