Luke Littler Thrashes Paul Lim with 106+ Average as Youth Prevails Over Experience on the World Series

Luke Littler delivered a dominant display on the World Series stage as he swept aside darts legend Paul Lim, producing a stunning 106+ average to underline the growing gap between the sport’s new generation and its most enduring figures.

The teenage world champion was in ruthless form from the opening leg, piling on heavy scores and finishing clinically to leave the veteran with little room to settle. Despite Lim’s vast experience and trademark composure, Littler’s relentless pace and scoring power proved overwhelming.

The contest was billed as a classic clash of eras, with Littler representing darts’ future and Lim, one of its most respected pioneers. However, once play began, it quickly became clear that this was a one-sided affair. Littler controlled the match throughout, repeatedly applying pressure and rarely allowing his opponent a clear sight of a finish.

A three-figure average on the World Series stage further highlighted Littler’s consistency and confidence, particularly impressive given the expectations that now follow him to every event. His performance drew warm applause from the crowd, who recognised both the quality of the darts and the significance of the generational moment.

For Lim, simply sharing the stage with the reigning world champion at this level remains a testament to his longevity in the sport. For Littler, it was another statement win — one that reinforced why he continues to be viewed as the leading force of darts’ new era.

As the World Series progresses, performances like this suggest Littler is not just competing with the sport’s elite — he is setting the standard.
