Premier League Night 16James Wade (8) beat Gary Anderson (7)It was a match that had no bearing other than pride and prizemoney, and it was James Wade who had the only break of the game and took out the win.James finished 6th on the table - $110,000Gary finishes 8th on the table - $91,700Jose De Sousa (8) beat Nathan Aspinall (3)In a match that would decide finishing places in the final four, it started as a match that would see who would hold their throw first, and it was Jose, and he ended up winning the game in style.Along the way, Jose broke the record of the 180s and had something we had not seen on TV three times; he finished double-double on the '20s.He once again averaged over 100 with a 103 finish high checkout of 149. They will now play each other in the final four, and Nathan will have to turn his form around quickly.He averaged 92 for the match with a high check out of 152. However, he struggled to hit trebles and was very wayward going for segments and was punished accordingly.Michael van Gerwen (8) beat Peter Wright (6)They both came to put on a show, and they did until MVG put his foot down and took the lead with three ton-plus checkouts and a high of 145; he topped the table with class, earning a bonus of $45,800 for finishing top of the table.MVG now plays Jonny Clayton in the first semi-finalPeter Wright started slow, but once the crowds returned, he showed what he is made of and disrupted a few scenarios along the way. He will be back and finished 7th, taking home $100,870.Jonny Clayton (8) beat Dimitri Van den Burgh (6)Jonny Clayton bounced back from a couple of defeats to make his way into the top 4, beating Dimitri 8-6 in a match that he had to draw, and Dimitri needed to win.He broke early and then was steady on his throw and, in the final game, took advantage of a disheartened Van den Burgh.In his first season in the premier league, Clayton deserved his place in the final four; he now plays MVG.Dimitri will be unhappy with the way he finished, but to play as he has over the tournament is a credit to the two-time world junior champion. He finishes the tournament in 5th place and takes home a handy $128,400.Both players had ton-plus averages, but Clayton 17 140's got him the win and checked out at 57%.The finalsSemi-Final 1Michael Van Gerwen vs Jonny ClaytonThey can both wobble, and in 2021, Jonny has beaten MVG more times than the other way around. MVG showed great form at the right end of the tournament and didn't finish on top of the ladder 3 points clear for no reason, and I think he will win the match in the best of 19 legs.Semi-Final 2In a repeat of the match from the final night, Jose De Sousa takes on Nathan Aspinall, which should be a great match. Jose, the record holder of the 180s in the premier league up against the, never says die, Aspinall. I picked Nathan early in the tournament to make the final, but he has struggled to get that early form back over the last couple of days. On the other hand, Jose is ever so calm and never looks like he is flappable, and I think this will hold him instead for this match.The concern I have for Jose is his concentration and calculating scores over the longer format. This could be a stumbling block for Jose.Nathan is an impressive player and is always at you in the match. He never stops trying to get back in the game when behind, but he is hard to beat when he is in the lead and form.For me, this match will be won by the least mistakes, and I think it will be Nathan.To stay connected, follow the links:https://thedartsplace.com.au/ (The Darts Place Website)https://www.facebook.com/thedartsplacecomau (Facebook)https://twitter.com/thedartsplace (Twitter) https://www.instagram.com/thedartsplace/ (Instagram) We strive to provide the dart loving community news, reviews and opinions on the
