The afternoon session on Day 4 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship wraps up with Joe Cullen taking on Bradley Brooks. The winner of this match between The Rockstar and Bam Bam will meet either Mensur Suljovic or David Cameron in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Joe Cullen qualified for this competition via his PDC Order of Merit position and is now a regular at the World Championships. His best run at the Ally Pally was reaching the quarter-final in 2022.
However, the Rockstar has been inconsistent this season, failing to get beyond the last 16 in any European Tour event, while he has also failed to win a Players Championship this year.
Cullen was beaten in the opening round of the PC finals by Peter Wright and has split his last 10 matches, five wins and five defeats.
Meanwhile, Bradley Brooks is a former World Youth Champion and will be making his second appearance at the World Championships this year. He lost in the first round on debut in 2022.
While Bam Bam has not won a title in 2025, he has been a consistent participant on the Players Championship circuit, notching up a handful of last 32 and last 16 appearances.
Brooks got to the second round of the PC finals last month. He also beat this opponent back in May on the European tour.
