Veteran Lim stuns world darts champion

FRANKFURT • Singapore's Paul Lim stunned reigning world darts champion Rob Cross at the World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt, Germany, on Sunday (Singapore time).

The 64-year-old was fearless as he started Singapore's second-round encounter against second seeds England with a maximum 180 from his first three darts against Cross. Lim's clinical finishing on the double 20 sealed the singles win against a world champion 37 years his junior.

But Harith Lim lost 4-2 to Dave Chisnall and the duo exited after a 4-1 loss to Cross and Chisnall in the deciding doubles match.
