Loughborough Lightning 168 for 6 (van Niekerk 91) beat Surrey Stars 134 (Devine 2-12, Langston 2-14) by 34 runsScorecard Team and individual competition records were broken as Loughborough Lightning sealed their place in the finals of the Kia Super League by beating Surrey Stars. Mike Montgomery Jersey .South Africa international Dane van Niekerk hit 91 off just 64 balls, including 13 fours and three sixes, beating the previous competition record innings of 90 not out by Surreys Natalie Sciver, as Lightning ran up 168 for 6. That too was a record, the previous highest innings score in the competition being the 164 made by Lancashire Thunder, also at Loughborough Universitys Haslegrave ground.Ive been struggling with form, but I knew it was a really good track and I had to take my chance, said van Niekerk, who came into the match having scored just 19 runs in her previous three innings. Going into the finals its nice to have a few runs and for the team to have a bit of momentum.Surrey skipper Sciver chose to bowl after winning the toss, but may have already regretting her decision when Lightning openers Georgia Elwiss and Van Niekerk brought up the 50 in the seventh over.Van Niekerk looked in good touch from the start. Consecutive boundaries stroked through the off side off the pace bowling of Marizanne Kapp, along with a huge straight six clubbed the left-arm spin of Alex Hartley, were the pick of the 23-year-olds shots in a half-century made from 41 balls.Hartley, bowling with a nice loop, did pick up a wicket, Elwiss failing to clear long-off, but Van Niekerk appeared unstoppable. A reverse paddle was followed by a reverse scoop for boundaries before Rene Farrell was deposited over midwicket for another six.Sophie Devine edged a catch behind driving at a wide delivery, but just as the first century of the competition seemed Van Niekerks for the taking, she pulled Kapp hard to midwicket, where Sciver took a fine catch running in from the boundary.Inevitably, perhaps, van Niekerk then took a wicket in her first over of legspin, the third of the Surrey reply, courtesy of some sharp work behind the stumps by Amy Jones when Bryony Smith dragged her back foot. In her following over she had Cordelia Griffith caught and bowled, but the key wickets as far as Loughborough were concerned were those of Sciver and fellow England international Tammy Beaumont.Sciver had made just 12 when she top-edged Elwiss towards short third man, where Rebecca Grundy took the catch on the edge of the circle. Beaumont was beginning to threaten on 27 when she was run out by a direct hit - by van Niekerk, naturally. In the circumstances it came as no surprise when she added a fine boundary catch to her contribution.It was a good score but we were never really out of it on that track, so of course were disappointed, Sciver said. Its been a great competition, playing under pressure can only help develop our games. The crowds have been great and it shows how popular womens domestic cricket is becoming. We just wish we were going to Finals Day! Koji Uehara Jersey . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Ron Santo Jersey . Numbers Game looks into the Canadiens securing the services of Thomas Vanek in a trade with the New York Islanders. The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick. http://www.cubsteamproshop.com/cubs-ian-happ-jersey/ . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. Railway StakesWith Group I racing in the eastern states done for another year, attention now turns to the west. The Railway Stakes is the traditional kickstarter of the Ascot carnival, and this year the 1600m handicap presents quite the poser for punters.Its always hard to line up form from one side of the country to the other, but thats what we must do when filtering through the chances for this event.The key local hopes look to be Perfect Reflection, Disposition and Tradesman, the 1-2-3 in the Lee Steere Stakes a fortnight ago.Of that trio I would lean towards Perfect Reflection as she will improve again third-up, draws well and is the chosen mount of gun Perth hoop, William Pike. Tradesman should certainly be respected back in a handicap off his WFA placing, but Disposition, as classy as he is, has drawn off the track and is yet to prove that 1600m is his go.The latter sentiment also applies to Rageese, who nevertheless leads the interstate charge following his impressive win at Flemington. Asking the entire to show he stays a mile in Group I class is a big ask, however.Good Project, last years winner, returns with just 2kg more to carry, but this field is much tougher and the better of Chris Wallers two entries is Mackintosh. Just fourth-up here, he ran well in a hot Cantala Stakes and is a definite winning chance. Nor should He Or She be underestimated at odds; the former WA star returns home and boasts some ripping old form at Ascot.Recommended bet: Perfect Reflection to win @ $5 with UBET but save with a boxed exacta Nos. 4, 6 & 7.Ballarat CupA highly competitive edition of the Ballarat Cup, which as usual brings together a mix of campaigners: some at the end of their spring journey, others in the first flushes of their summer sojourn.Six contestants are backing up from Saturdays Group III Eclipse Stakes, including the winner Turnitaround, third placegetter Lidari and the beaten favourite Cool Chap.All three hold chances again, and its an illustration of just how open this race is that Cool Chap is holding sway as market elect at $7 with UBET.But if Cool Chap is rated such a good hope, so too must be another at almost double the quote: Scherzoso.The Tony McEvoy-trained gelding has come back in good order, first-up finishing not far behind Railway Stakes hope, Rageese, before placing at Flemington on Oaks day.Scherzoso finished two lengths behind Cool Chap that day and meets him 3.5kg better for that defeat. That weight pull, along with added fitness third-up, should see him reverse order with the favourite and figure somewhere in the money.But, as stated, its a race of many chances, and punters could do worse than look at comeback gallopers Puccini and Lord Van Percy if considering multiples or each-way savers.Recommended bet: Scherzoso each-way @ $13 with UBET.Best BetRosehill Race 7, No.5 Religify @ $3.50 with UBETPunters have every right to desert this fellow after his costly last-start defeat at Canterbury, where he was rolled as a $1.60 favourite.But, as painful as that reverse was - and, for some, still is - followers would be well advised to keep the faith.Religify missed the kick at Canterbury and had to be pushed along to lead, where he was pestered senseleess by another runner. Kosuke Fukudome Jersey. The geldings effort to run second was actually full of merit, and shows he remains in excellent form.Everything on Saturday suits: firm going, 1400m, a track where hes won four from eight. Even the wide draw might be OK - if Religify is tardy again (which is unlikely), Kerrin McEvoy will have time and space to cross a field not blessed with much pace.Itll take the very committed, or the very forgiving, to stick solid. But those who do could well be rewarded.Over the oddsRosehill Race 9, No.13 Salmanazar @ $4 with UBETLeading Queensland trainer Tony Gollan hasnt yet made a mark in Sydney through his satellite stable at Rosehill, but its only a matter of time until he does.The horse to put Gollan on the map south of the border could be Salmanazar. The lightly raced four-year-old showed plenty in his second prep, progressing from a Toowoomba maiden to a narrow defeat in Stakes grade during the Brisbane winter carnival, where he beat home the well-regarded Tsaritsa.Salmanazar trialled the house down at Rosehill earlier this month and, from a good draw, looks primed to run a big race fresh. Can see him being backed and will be hard to beat.Eagle Farm Race 7, No.3 Coolring @ $4.60 with UBETBjorn Baker has a tidy record when whisking his gallopers off to Queensland, and Coolring can enhance the trainers record in that state at Eagle Farm on Saturday.Coolring improved markedly second-up to finish on the heels of the placegetters at Randwick, and just one length behind the smart winner Kaepernick.That form is good enough to be winning this race, and the Sebring gelding maps well just behind what should be a solid tempo. Will be hard to hold out.Lay of the dayRosehill Race 5, No.1 Kuro @ $6 with UBETNot the longest-priced lay in history, but this one can safely be discounted as a winning hope at single-figure odds.Ran OK first-up at Canterbury, but had every chance from the front and was still mowed down by Grunderzeit. Its worth noting, too, that Kuros second-up form isnt as flash as his first-up record.Its now 559 days since the gelding last tasted success. Under a big weight in a race of good speed, that number is about to be 560.Under the oddsBallarat Race 1, No.2 Cheeky Babe @ $3.10 with UBETBookmakers are a bit cheeky posting this one as favourite for Ballarats opener given, on the point of weights alone, she simply cannot win.Cheeky Babe beat Entrancing by half a length at Moonee Valley last start and now meets that rival 2.5kg worse off. While its dangerous to get too carried away with weights and measures, Cheeky Babe had much the better run at the Valley and, well, that weight swing is very hard to ignore!Throw in other live chances in the shape of Diamond Baroness and Go Down, and Cheeky Babe is huge unders at the present quote.Multi of the weekendRosehill Race 4, No.1 Herenes Oak - PLACE @ $3.60Rosehill Race 7, No.1 Religify - PLACE @ $1.63Rosehill Race 9, No.13 Salmanazar - PLACE @ $1.75Eagle Farm Race 7, No.3 Coolring - PLACE @ $1.85Ballarat Race 8, No.15 Scherzoso - PLACE @ $4Multi price: $75.99 with UBET Cheap Jerseys 2018 Wholesale NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
