Souther Vipers 156 for 4 (Bates 38, McGlashan 34*) beat Loughborough Lightning 97 (Perry 35, Smith 3-16, Brindle 3-24) by 59 runsScorecard Suzie Bates hammered 38 and bagged two wickets as the Southern Vipers stormed to the Kia Super League final with a comprehensive 59-run win over Loughborough Lightning.Bates gave the Vipers the perfect start with her quick scoring, before Lydia Greenway and Sara McGlashan push the total to 156. With 1200 watching at the Ageas Bowl, Bates then finished off the Lightning innings, after three wickets each for Linsey Smith and Arran Brindle, to give the Vipers four wins from five in the tournament.The result means Lightning will have to overcome Western Storm on Finals Day to decide who faces the Vipers in the final.After smashing 73 together for the first wicket against the Western Storm on Friday, Bates and Charlotte Edwards wasted little time reacquainting themselves after skipper Edwards had won the toss and batted.Bates, in particular, looked in fine form as she biffed cuts and drives to the boundary, before unleashing a massive straight six straight down the ground. Sophie Devine managed to break the partnership on 49 as she had the subdued Edwards lbw with her first ball but Georgia Adams immediately struck back-to-back boundaries to keep the hosts in control.Bates top-edged a sweep to Thea Brookes at short fine leg for a swift 38 - leaving her one run behind Nat Sciver in the competitions leading run-scorer list - and Adams was caught by a good over-the-head catch by Georgia Elwiss but Greenway and McGlashan led the Vipers to their highest score of the tournament with a 62-run stand.The pair added quick runs, with the reverse sweep a favourite shot for both, before Greenway was bowled in the last over.For the Lightning, Evelyn Jones, who had spent the rest of the campaign batting in the lower middle order, was sent up to open and she started well, carving early strokes over the off side.While Evelyn Jones prospered her partner Dane van Niekerk struggled, however, her torment over when she was bowled coming down the track to Smith. Left-armer Smith, who took four wickets on her first Ageas Bowl appearance earlier in the week, bowled Devine two balls later.Evelyn Jones was given a life when Katie George spilled a catch on the square leg boundary but an over later she departed leg before to the standout Smith for 33.Amy Jones and Ellyse Perry attempted to get the Lightning back on track but the run rate slowed to five an over, before Amy Jones was bowled by Brindle. Captain Elwiss was caught by Greenway, Sonia Odedra was run out, and Thea Brookes was stumped to leave the Lightning facing defeat.Paige Scholfield holed out to deep midwicket off Bates before Beth Langston ramped on to her leg stump to hand the Vipers a third bonus point win from three at home.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Luke Kennard is ready for Duke to finally resemble the team that was picked No. 1 in the preseason.The fifth-ranked Blue Devils welcomed two key big men to the rotation -- but also played without two starting guards.With Kennard scoring a career-best 35 points, Duke routed Maine 94-55 on Saturday in the long-awaited debut of freshmen Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden.Im just excited for everybody to get back, Kennard said. Im excited to be a full, healthy team, and just step on the pedal and be who we are going to be during the season.Amile Jefferson added a career-high 20 points and Tatum finished with 10 for the Blue Devils (8-1), who shot 60 percent while playing without a true point guard.Preseason All-America Grayson Allen and freshman Frank Jackson -- their starting backcourt for the past four games -- were held out. Allen has been dealing with a lingering toe injury, while coach Mike Krzyzewski says Jackson has a little bit of a sore foot.Krzyzewski says both players should be back for Tuesday nights game against No. 24 Florida in New York.They certainly didnt need them to rout the struggling Black Bears (2-6).Ilker Er scored all 20 of his points in the first half for Maine.The story of this one was who finally played for Duke, as well as who didnt.Duke has been without three injured five-star freshmen all season, with Tatum out since spraining his foot during an October practice in front of NBA scouts and Bolden sidelined since injuring his leg before the regular season started.Tatum wound up starting and scored his first basket on a banked jumper about 7 minutes in.

I thought they took our spirit away in the second half.Duke: Now that two of their injured key players are back, the focus shifts to the two other players who sat this one out. Neither one took part in pregame warmups -- both stood standing next to injured big man Sean Obi on the baseline -- and they were on the bench in their warmup gear throughout.Krzyzewski says Allen has turf toe thats not on the main part, its on the side part and probably needs the extended rest that will come during exam week and over the holidays to approach 100 percent. Duke plays only two games between Dec. 11-30.Krzyzewski said hes just trying to deal with the bottom line that eventually, everybody gets well. ...
