They also met in the Bahrain Masters earlier in 2024, with Littler coming out on top.
But van Gerwen won 6-5 in Berlin but Littler will be kicking himself having had the chance to claim the victory but missed on his favourite shot, double ten.
The Dutchman, who earlier failed to checkout at 122, didn't pass up on his second opportunity.
The result means Van Gerwen is second in the table with Littler in third. Winner of night one Michael Smith is top overall.
