Elated for Australia, and Whitlock especially, what a team with great chemistry! Kyle Anderson is looking down so proud 😭🙏. Heta shown world class composure in his second, massive televised final! Truly deserved this win. Defeating the likes of Smith, Clayton and whitewashing Price, Heta is a dangerous player to look out for 🔥.

[@piratescove4]

My favourites teams got in the final, and even if I was cheering for Wales, I'm so happy Whitlock FINALLY got that title... he should have taken it 10 years ago with Paul Nicholson, but I'm so happy Heta helped him lift that trophy, amazing final, great result, couldn't be happier

[@matthewgibb2640]

Ecstatic about our Aussies winning the title especially for kyle. Bloody awesome

[@Joel-js2gk]

Incredible scenes to see Whitlock lifting the trophy, he really deserved it. And this could spark something special in Heta, he's a great talent and always so humble have to be happy for him as well. As for England, I feel bad for both of them - but IMO Wade made a big mistake constantly telling the media how nerve wracking it is playing for England, and how Smith is the best in the world and will beat everyone. As phenomenal as Smith has been, I don't know why you'd unnecessarily heap additional pressure onto him. Not to mention Wade's performance itself was bad, had Smith beaten Heta I've no doubt the Aussies would've won in the doubles. Both players have to contribute for a team to win. Anyway, today's Australia's day and huge congrats to them and all Aussie darts fans out there!

[@markbellew4194]

Congrats to team Australia. I wanted Wales to win but they didnt play good enough in the final. In a way its great to see Australia add their name as first time winners and especially after 10 years of having match darts to win the world cup, to do it now it must feel amazing for Australia and the Wizard, Simon Whitlock. He was absolutely brilliant throughout the tournament and Heta came good at the right time to beat Smith, Price and Clayton, which was amazing from the Heat. Tough luck for Wales but it was still a good tournament and for Price personally, he can really take this form into the upcoming tournaments. All in all a great tournament albeit a very short one. I wish the format was a bit longer and played over a werk rather then a few days.

[@JC-om6vk]

No matter what country you support, you can't deny that it was fantastic tournament this year and the Aussies fully deserved their win. I'm not an Aussie by the way, but that was a great spectacle for darts fans all over the world! Well done Simon and Damon!

I’m really happy that Australia won it. Nice to see another new name on the trophy. Also Whitlock came so close to winning it for Australia with Nicholson 10 years ago. So this will mean a lot to Whitlock especially. Congrats to Damon Heta also, he showed great strength and composure throughout, what a player!

[@james12345757]

Just finished watching this almost half a day later in 🇦🇺 So proud of the 2 lads, honestly didn’t think we would even win the semi but we dominated that and then played out of our skin in the final, made it more difficult than we should’ve with all those missed match darts. Hope Kyle Anderson was watching on 💗

[@Liasos88]

I'm happy too but dominated the semi? Michael Smith had the game pretty much wrapped up. He was 3-1 up to Damon when he busted his score of 48 with the last dart in hand.

[@brendanjordan6780]

Loved it from start to finish. Heta is just so cool under pressure which is a bit ironic with him being The Heat but him and Whitlock had a really good balance to their team. I can see Heta gaining a lot of confidence from this and he's going to be dangerous going forward. Crowd were brilliant. My only grumble is the tournament is to short. Maybe first to 6 instead of 4 and definitely once the quarter finals start it should be fist to 3 instead of 2. There should be more doubles tournies on fhe circuit. Just great fun imo.
