Denmark will face a tough challenge in this year’s World Cup of Darts. It will require team captain Benjamin Drue Reus to take on a big responsibility as he teams up with Andreas Hyllgaardhus this year.
Ranking: 22
Players: Benjamin Drue Reus / Andreas Hyllgaardhus
Denmark plays in Group F alongside Canada and Malaysia. Denmark skips the first round and will play both their matches on Friday, June 13th. The feeling is that they have a decent chance to win against Malaysia but are heavy underdogs against Canada.
Last year, Denmark was eliminated directly in the group stage. After an opening loss to Latvia, they pushed France to a deciding leg but unfortunately couldn’t secure the win. This year, Denmark has replaced Claus Bendix Nielsen with Andreas Hyllgaardhus.
A positive sign for Denmark is that Benjamin Drue Reus will compete in the Nordic Darts Masters in Copenhagen the week before the World Cup of Darts. If Drue Reus can get a good result there, it could have a positive impact on their performance.
