Day 11’s afternoon session at the 2026 PDC World Darts Championship will conclude with Rob Cross taking on Ian White on Sunday. The winner of this match between Voltage and Diamond will meet either Damon Heta or Stefan Bellmont in the third round. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Former world champion Rob Cross got through to the second round of this year’s World Championships with ease, defeating Cor Dekker 3-0, while only losing two legs.
Voltage averaged 90.84 and pinned two 180s in his opening match. He was solid on doubles, converting 9/19 on the outer ring and recorded a Big Fish highest checkout.
That was a much-needed result for Cross following six defeats in a row. He has won four of his five previous matches against his upcoming opponent.
Meanwhile, Ian White was far from convincing in his opening match of the competition but managed to hold his nerve in the deciding leg to edge Mervyn King 3-22 back on Day 2.
White pinned four 180s in that match but only managed a three-dart average of 81.13. He was also wasteful on doubles (13/44) and recorded a highest checkout of just 89.
Diamond has only won three of his last 10 matches in all competitions. His only victory against Cross came on the European Tour back in 2019.

Our Rob Cross vs Ian White Prediction
Ian White is set to feature in the second round of this competition, but his performance in his opening match was unimpressive. In fact, he had the lowest three-dart average of all winners from the first round.
Rob Cross was certainly not at his best in the first round either, but his conversion on checkouts was excellent, which is very positive. Voltage has won four of his five matches against this opponent, and we feel he will add to that record in this one. Our Rob Cross vs Ian White prediction is Rob Cross wins.
