September 2025 Highlights: Cricket Drama and Legal Updates

September brought two very different stories that grabbed attention. On the sports side, a rain‑cut T20 match in Dunedin tipped the scales in New Zealand’s favor. On the legal front, the Delhi High Court kept a trial court order alive in the Sharjeel Imam case, keeping the legal battle moving.

Rain‑Shortened T20I Gives New Zealand a 2‑0 Lead

On September 5, New Zealand faced Pakistan in a T20 International that lasted only 15 overs because the weather turned nasty. Pakistan posted 135 for 9, with captain Salman Agha top‑scoring at 46. The Kiwi bowlers—Duffy, Sears, Neesham, and Sodhi—each grabbed two wickets, putting pressure on the Pakistan lineup.

Chasing a modest total, New Zealand paced the run‑chase and finished in 13.1 overs. Mitchell Hay stayed unbeaten on 21, while Bracewell sealed the win with a finishing boundary. Pakistan’s Haris Rauf managed a decent spell, taking 2 for 20, but it wasn’t enough. The win pushed New Zealand to a 2‑0 lead in the five‑match series, and fans are already talking about how the rain‑shortened format changed the tactics.

Delhi High Court Keeps Trial Order Alive in Sharjeel Imam Case

In a separate story, the Delhi High Court declined to pause a trial court order linked to the Jamia violence case involving activist Sharjeel Imam. The order lets the investigation proceed, meaning the court will continue hearing the case without an interim stay.

The case stems from the 2019 protests at Jamia Millia Islamia, where clashes erupted after a campus raid. Imam also faces a separate UAPA charge tied to the Delhi riots, where bail was denied earlier. While the High Court didn’t grant any immediate relief, it signaled that it may still look at the merits of Imam’s petition later on.

Both stories show how September 2025 was anything but dull. Whether you’re tracking cricket scores or following high‑profile legal battles, India Reflector News had the details you needed, and we’ll keep bringing you updates as they happen.

Sharjeel Imam: Delhi High Court declines stay on trial court order in Jamia violence case

The Delhi High Court has declined to pause a trial court order in the Jamia violence case involving Sharjeel Imam, allowing proceedings to continue.
