Scotland’s Peter Wright and John Henderson overcame Portugal's Jose De Sousa and Vítor Jerónimo to set up a meeting with England in the quarter-finals.

After a 4-0 Henderson whitewash against Jeronimo, De Sousa beat Wright 4-3 to level the field.

However, another 4-0 scoreline in the doubles sealed the victory for the Scottish duo.

In their bid to win England’s first World Cup since 2016, Michael Smith and James Wade beat Latvia’s Madars Razma and Hauris Gleglu in a hard-fought affair.

Smith averaged over 100 in a one-sided four-leg blitz against Gleglu.

Wade played his part against Ramza with a 119 kill before the Latvian responded with three 19s to edge him.

In the decisive doubles contest, Smith and Wade produced a professional performance to win 4-2.

"I’m proud to wear the shirt and England are through to the next round, so that’s all that matters," Smith said after the victory.

"Michael is the best player in the world at the moment, but I know I can match him, so it hurts when you don’t perform," Wade added.

"I am gutted with how I played. I tried so hard, but I promise I will be better tomorrow."

Wales' Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton edged Austria’s Mensur Suljovic and Rowby-John Rodriguez in yet another close encounter.

The Netherlands did not even require the doubles leg as Danny Noppert and Dirk van Duijvenbode produced a masterclass over Republic of Ireland’s William O’Connor and Steve Lennon.

Simon Whitlock and Damon Heta of Australia secured a 2-1 win over Swedes Johan Engstrom and Daniel Larsson to reach their third consecutive World Cup quarter-final.

They face Belgium for a semi-final spot, after Dimitri Van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts produced a flawless 2-0 win over Poland’s Krzysztof Ratajski and 18-year-old debutant Sebastian Bialecki.

Germany, on the other hand, will face Wales after Gabriel Clemens and Martin Schindler got the better of Danes Vladimir Andersen and Andreas Toft Jorgensen 2-0.

The World Cup of Darts is set to conclude on Sunday.
