Kenya’s David Munyua Stuns De Decker With 3–2 Comeback at World Darts

The Kenyan veterinarian advances to a scheduled second-round tie after a 3-2 comeback sealed on double 20.

Overview

  • On his World Championship debut, Munyua recovered from two sets down to beat No. 18 seed Mike De Decker 3-2 at Alexandra Palace.
  • He produced a decisive 135 checkout on outer bull–treble 20–bull in the final set, after an earlier perfect six-dart start and notable miscounts.
  • The PDC confirmed Munyua killed the recurring Ally Pally wasp during the match and put it in his pocket.
  • A full-time veterinarian on his first trip outside Africa, Munyua qualified via the African Darts Group and used fellow pro Cam Crabtree’s darts.
  • He is guaranteed at least £25,000 and will face Kevin Doets or Matthew Dennant next, while De Decker criticized booing from the crowd on Instagram.
