New Zealand’s Women’s T20 World Cup Victory

In a surprise turn, New Zealand clinched their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup title in Dubai. The final against South Africa was a clean sweep, with the Kiwi side posting a massive total that left the opponents struggling. The tournament, originally slated for Bangladesh, shifted to the UAE after logistical hiccups, but the change didn’t dampen the excitement. Ten teams competed, delivering record‑breaking scores and a few nail‑biting upsets along the way.

Bangladesh celebrated a milestone too, winning their maiden World Cup match against a strong side, while India posted the highest team total of the event, underscoring the rapid rise of women’s T20 cricket across the globe. Fans praised the improved facilities in Dubai and the enthusiastic crowds that turned each game into a festival.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st ODI – How to Watch

If you missed the Sri Lanka‑Bangladesh clash on July 2, 2025, we’ve got you covered. The match took place at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, and Indian viewers could catch it live on Sony Sports Ten 2 or stream it via Sony LIV and FanCode. The line‑ups featured Charith Asalanka leading Sri Lanka, while Bangladesh relied on captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz, with solid contributions from Litton Das and Taskin Ahmed.

Pitch experts noted a balanced surface that offered something for both batters and bowlers. Weather forecasts predicted a dry evening, making it a perfect night for a high‑scoring game. With the head‑to‑head record heavily favoring Sri Lanka (42–13), the ODI added another chapter to an intriguing rivalry.

Lalbaugcha Raja Darshan Goes Hybrid

Ganesh Chaturthi lovers in Mumbai got a fresh take on the Lalbaugcha Raja experience this year. Organisers introduced a hybrid model: traditional queues for those who prefer face‑to‑face worship and a 24‑hour live‑stream for devotees who can’t make it in person. Daily darshan runs from 5 AM to 11 PM until September 7, with three queue categories – General, Charan Sparsha, and Mukh Darshan – each offering a different level of closeness to the idol.

For those willing to pay a premium, a Platinum fast‑track pass guarantees the shortest wait. The theme this year honors Tirupati Balaji, and the temple also rolls out a home‑delivery prasad service, ensuring the blessing reaches your doorstep. Remember, the cutoff dates for queue registration are strict, so plan ahead if you want a spot.

These three stories capture the spirit of September 2025 on India News Country: thrilling sports moments, practical viewing guides, and a blend of tradition with technology for festive celebrations. Keep checking back for more updates, because the news never stops moving.
