Bunting Wins Nordic Darts Masters, Avenges Cross Loss

Stephen Bunting won his second World Series of Darts title of 2025 by defeating Rob Cross 8-4 in the Nordic Darts Masters final in Copenhagen, avenging his earlier loss to Cross in the Dutch Darts Masters final. Bunting's path to the title included victories over Jonny Clayton and Nathan Aspinall, while Cross reached the final by defeating Chris Dobey and Gerwyn Price. The match was level at the break before Bunting surged ahead with five consecutive legs to secure victory. World champion Luke Littler and world number one Luke Humphries exited in the quarter-finals, losing to Aspinall and Price respectively. The World Series continues later in June in New York, and the World Cup of Darts is scheduled for June 12-15 in Frankfurt. Bunting emphasized the importance of overcoming his struggles with doubles and defeating top-tier opponents to win the title.
