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.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 reverrse paddle was followed by a reverse scoop for boundaries before Rene Farrell was deposited over midwicket for another six.ddddddddddddophie 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! ' ' '
