Gerwyn Price believes Danny Noppert was "fortunate" to reach the last-four of the World Matchplay darts and believes his "A-game" will be enough to see off the Dutchman in Blackpool tonight.Price produced the performance of the tournament so far to defeat Jose De Sousa in a captivating quarter-final, averaging 104.64 to close out a tense 16-14 victory and set up semi-final clash against Noppert.

UK Open champion Noppert dumped out countryman Dirk van Duijvenbode in Friday night’s opener before Price came through a classic to continue his tilt for World Matchplay glory.“I think he [Noppert] was quite fortunate to get through his game today but that will probably spur him on,” said Price. “I’m just going to concentrate on my own game.

Danny’s a fantastic player but I’m sure, if I play my A-game, I’ll be okay.” READ MORE: Anti-Leeds United chant breaks out at World Matchplay darts The win over De Sousa saw Price replace Peter Wright at the top of the world rankings following Snakebite’s quarter-final loss to Dimitri Van den Bergh on Thursday.“That was a difficult game.

I played pretty well and I think I deserved to go through,” said Price. “Jose is a great player. He dug in right until the end, and I’m thankful to come through.
