KEY TEAM STRENGTHS
PHILIPPINES
DOUBLES CHEMISTRY
Philippines topped their group and beat Belgium in 2025 without a PDC-ranked player. Their partnership strength consistently outperforms the rankings.
NEW ZEALAND
GROUP STAGE NOUS
New Zealand have competed at multiple World Cups and know how to win group ties. Their 2022 second-round run shows a team that competes above the rankings.
MATCH PREVIEW
Neither team has PDC-ranked players, but Philippines carry significantly more World Cup experience. They topped their group in 2025 and beat Belgium before a respectable 8-2 loss to Wales in the Round of 16 — the kind of tournament pedigree that matters in close group ties.
New Zealand's Jonny Tata and Ben Robb are unknowns from a stats perspective. Without available average data and limited recent knockout history, this match is hard to assess precisely. Philippines' doubles chemistry has already been proven at this tournament level.
Stats Verdict
Philippines edge it on proven World Cup credentials — their 2025 R16 run sets them apart from New Zealand in this group.
