Grand Slam of Darts 2nd round: Lewis and Wright wrangle

Martin Adams v Kim Huybrechts

The Hurricane is a tempestuous tungsten figure, which can often prove his undoing. Yet, having reached the semi-finals of the Grand Slam in 2014, the PDC world number 13 is rated an 8/15 favourite.

Adrian Lewis v Peter Wright

Their battle resumes here, and Lewis is 4/5 favourite despite losing his last two encounters against Wright, with those defeats occurring in prestigious quarter-finals. So, with the balance tipped slightly in Scot Snakebite’s favour, back the quirky, cult hero at evens to emerge triumphant again.

Lewis squeezed past pointless Wayne Jones in his last outing to nab second spot, while Wright surged ahead of Dave Chisnall to claim Group D spoils after a wobbly start. So, with neither showing their best finishing form yet, odds of 8/1 for Snakebite to win 10-9 in a close clash look most appealing. While, customers may also be tempted to plump for a 20/1 price for the duo to tie highest checkout.

Michael Smith v Dave Chisnall

Chisnall, meanwhile, dazzled to deceive, after following up his nine-darter heroics with a dismal 5-1 defeat to rock-bottom opponent Scott Mitchell. This cost the maximums man first place, but he is 4/7 favourite to redeem himself here. Though it depends which Chizzy turns up, as Smith has bested him before on this stage.
