Melbourne Darts Masters - Day 1

Live - 10am UK

ITV4 - Delayed UK Eleven Sports - Delayed USA RTL7 - Delayed Netherlands

Now into today's schedule and my predictions!!

🇬🇧 Daryl Gurney v Dave Marland 🇦🇺

I can't see anything another than a Gurney win here, 6-0 Daryl Gurney!!

🇬🇧 Peter Wright v Rhys Mathewson 🇦🇺

Rhys Mathewson is a top player who is ranked 13 in the WDA OoM but I think Snakebite will turn up to this tournament and win this match 6-4.

🇬🇧 James Wade v Koha Kokiri 🇦🇺

Wadey went on a bit of a run last weekend and I think he'll win this game 6-3.

🇬🇧 Michael Smith v David Platt 🇬🇧

This is only Bully Boys second World Series appearance, but I think he'll comfortably win 6-1.

🇬🇧 Phil Taylor v Cody Harris 🇳🇿

Phil has been in some great form at the moment winning his 16th World Matchplay and I think he'll beat the NZ No.2 6-3.

🇳🇱 Raymond Van Barneveld v Corey Cadby 🇦🇺

This will be an absolute cracker!! Corey Cadby got to the final in Auckland last weekend and Barney is the 5 times World Champion, but I think Cadby will upset another pro and win this game 6-5.

🇬🇧 Gary Anderson v Justin Thompson 🇦🇺

This will be an easy 6-0 victory for Gary Anderson.

🇦🇺 Simon Whitlock v Kyle Anderson 🇦🇺

Arguably the 2 best Aussie darts players of all time meet again!! Over the last month these 2 are 50/50 on the win percentage. I think Kyle will win this 6-4.
