The penultimate match in the afternoon session on Day 4 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will see Richard Veenstra taking on Nitin Kumar. The winner of this match between Flyers and The Royal Bengal will meet either Jonny Clayton or Adam Lipscombe in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After failing to qualify for the World Championships between 2018 and 2023, Richard Veenstra will make his third Ally Pally appearance in a row this weekend.
Flyers’ 2025 season has been built on consistency rather than standout runs. He has featured in the last 32 of several Players Championships and has a season average above 90.
Veenstra lost to Nathan Aspinall in the second round of the PC finals last month but has won six of his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Nitin Kumar is widely considered India’s most accomplished darts player and will be hoping to record his first win at the Ally Pally this year at the fourth time of asking.
The Royal Bengal’s best performances this year have come on the PDC Asian Tour, but he did represent India at the 2025 World Cup of Darts alongside Mohan Kumar Goel.
Kumar was beaten in the first round of the Bahrain Darts Masters this year and has not won any of his last six televised matches.
