Friendly war? Next up is Pandaman vs Gentle!
The 10th-seeded Austrian duo Robbie-John Rodrigues and Mensur Suljovic will face China’s Xiaochen Zhong and Cheng’an Li in tonight’s final.
Zhong, better known as Pandaman, will be looking to give the favorite a figurative black eye in the final match of the night.
His partner is 51-year-old “Stone Buddha” Lee.
The Chinese duo meets “Little John” Rodriguez and “The Gentle” Suljovic.
Hmm… Pandaman vs Gentle doesn’t seem very combative…
But let’s take a look!
Result! Australia 4-3 Japan
Japan can’t believe that this final leg, and the match, was so far out of their hands…
Goto’s score dropped from 104 to 16.
Heta could then only reduce Australia’s target from 170 to 87.
Japanese star Uemoto missed a chance at double eight and also missed two attempts to win at double four.
Whitlock then posted a stunning 87 checkout.
Australia 3-3 Japan
Australia missed another chance as Azemotto sealed the win with 90 points.
He scored 20 twice but took 25 instead of the bull needed to win.
Whitlock came back and this time made no mistake, tying the game.
