Luke Littler has been hitting 180s for fun this year and he can fire in at least 6 against Ryan Meikle. ‘The Nuke’ has already racked up a record-breaking 800 maximums this calendar year. He hit 7 180s when defeating Christian Kist in Round 1 at last year's World Darts Championship. Littler then proceeded to hit 5 or more maximums in his subsequent 6 outings at the Ally Pally 12 months ago. On his way to lifting the trophy at the Grand Slam of Darts, Littler set a new record by throwing a combined total of 60 maximums across the event. A minimum of 2 100+ finishes from Littler looks well within the realms of possibility on Saturday night. The teenage sensation has a real knack for delivering roof-raising 3-figure outshots. At last month’s Grand Slam of Darts, Littler hit a 100+ finish in all but 1 of his 7 victories en route to lifting the trophy. That feat is made all the more impressive by the fact that Littler landed a ton-plus finish in each of his 3 group stage wins - all of which were played over a quickfire race to 5 legs.

Given how clinical Luke Littler is when it comes to cleaning up 3-figure outshots, he warrants support to deliver at least 1 100+ finish in each set of his Round 2 match with Ryan Meikle on Saturday night. The Warrington wonderkid has already hit 4 nine-darters in 2024 and he also has a habit of leaving himself on 170 when the opportunity presents itself. In fact, Littler reeled in the ‘big fish’ against Luke Humphries at last month’s Players Championship Finals. He also took out a spectacular 167 when brilliantly dismantling Jermaine Wattimena at the Grand Slam of Darts.
