DartStats Verdict
The most experienced nation in the draw. Van Gerwen has three World Cup wins and knows exactly how to play this format — alternating throws with a partner demands a different kind of rhythm and composure, and MvG has done it longer than anyone else in this draw. Van Veen at #3 in the world is no longer the junior partner his age suggests. Netherlands are the team most capable of knocking England out.
