Day 4 at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship kicks off with Ritchie Edhouse taking on Jonny Tata on Sunday afternoon. The winner of this match between Madhouse and JT will meet either Ryan Meikle or Jesus Salate in the second round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Ritchie Edhouse has featured in each of the last four World Championships and made it to the second round in two of those competitions, including the last edition.
Madhouse won his first major televised title in 2024 at the European Championship. This year, his best performances were reaching the last 16 at the Belgian Darts Open and the quarters at PC12.
Edhouse suffered a first-round elimination to Stephen Bunting at the PC finals last month and has six wins in his last 10 matches in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Jonny Tata is one of New Zealand’s best players, and after finishing top of the DPNZ ProTour Order of Merit in 2025, he is set to make his Ally Pally debut this weekend.
JT recorded the first nine-darter in DPNZ ProTour history this year. He also featured in the 2025 New Zealand Darts Masters, where he pushed Gerwyn Price all the way to the wire.
However, Tata is on a five-match losing streak on the Pro Tour and is a clear underdog in this contest.
