The penultimate quarter-final at the 2026 New Zealand Darts Masters will see Gerwyn Price taking on Damon Heta on Saturday afternoon. The Iceman has already beaten Heta this year, and our prediction is that he will do so again in this match.
With Luke Littler and Luke Humphries absent from the NZ Darts Masters, Gerwyn Price is the favourite to win the title this year, and he kicked off his campaign with a 6-1 victory over Mark Cleaver.
The Iceman controlled the match from the outset, averaging 95.27, while pinning three 180s. He was exceptional on the outer ring (66.67% conversion) and recorded a highest checkout of 120.

Price reached the final of the World Matchplay ahead of this tournament and has won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Damon Heta is still looking for his first major title of the year. He got his NZ Darts Masters campaign started with a solid 6-4 win against Ben Robb on Friday night.
Heat averaged an incredible 97.13 and also managed three 180s in his opener. However, he only converted 31.58% of his checkout attempts despite a 105 highest checkout.
The Aussie number one has now won eight of his last 10 matches. His last victory over Price came at the Players Championship 20 event last year.

Our Gerwyn Price vs Damon Heta Prediction
Damon Heta produced one of the highest averages of the first round at the 2026 NZ Darts Masters, but his conversion on the outer ring - just 31.58% left much to be desired.
The Aussie can ill-afford a similar showing here against Gerwyn Price, who only dropped a single set and was clinical with his finishing. The Iceman has already beaten this opponent this year, and we fancy him to do so again in this one. Our Gerwyn Price vs Damon Heta prediction is Gerwyn Price wins.
