September 2025 Highlights: Navratri Rituals, PSL Power Hitting, and Women’s U19 Cricket
Welcome to the September archive of SuperTech Oxford News. This month we covered three very different stories that caught readers’ attention. First, a deep dive into Maa Kaalratri worship on the seventh day of Chaitra Navratri. Then, a look at the all‑time sixes leaderboard in the Pakistan Super League, with Fakhar Zaman on top. Finally, a match recap of New Zealand’s dominating win over Samoa in the Women’s Under‑19 T20 World Cup.
How to Celebrate Maa Kaalratri on Navratri’s Seventh Day
If you’re observing Chaitra Navratri this year, the seventh day is dedicated to the fierce form of Durga called Maa Kaalratri. Our guide breaks down the key steps: set up a clean altar, light a red diya, and place a picture or idol of the goddess. Recite the specific mantra "Om Kaalratriyai Namah" while offering red flowers and sweets made of jaggery. The guide also explains the myth behind her power – a story of victory over darkness that many families share during the evening puja. Practicing these rituals is believed to bring protection and inner strength, especially for those facing tough decisions.
PSL Sixes: Fakhar Zaman Takes the Crown
Cricket fans, take note: Fakhar Zaman now leads the PSL all‑time sixes list with 104 boundaries. He nudged past Asif Ali (90) and Kamran Akmal (89) after a massive blast in the latest match. The top five also includes Shoaib Malik and former Australian star Shane Watson, showing a mix of local talent and international experience. This season we’re already seeing new names like Sahibzada Farhan and Hasan Nawaz climbing the ranks, so the leaderboard could shift again before the tournament ends.
Why does the sixes count matter? In short, it reflects a player’s ability to change a game in seconds. Teams often plan their line‑up around power hitters, and a high sixes tally can increase a player’s market value. For fans, it adds an extra layer of excitement every time a batsman steps up.
The PSL’s six‑hitting trend also mirrors a broader shift in cricket toward aggressive play. Coaches now train players to clear the boundary more often, and stadiums have upgraded lighting to make night games more thrilling. Keep an eye on the stats page for weekly updates – the numbers change fast.
Women’s U19 T20 World Cup: New Zealand vs Samoa
In a stark display of skill, New Zealand’s U19 women’s team beat Samoa by 67 runs in Kuching. Chasing 108, New Zealand posted 107/9 in just 17 overs, then bowled out Samoa for 40 in 14.2 overs. No Samoan batter reached double figures, highlighting the gap between established cricket nations and emerging teams at the youth level.
The win secured New Zealand a spot in the Super Six stage, where they’ll face tougher competition. For Samoa, the match was a learning experience – coaches said the focus now is on building a stronger batting line‑up and gaining more international exposure. The tournament as a whole is shedding light on the growing interest in women’s cricket across Asia and the Pacific.
Fans who follow youth cricket can use this match to spot future stars. Players who performed well under pressure often earn spots in senior squads. Watch the upcoming fixtures to see which teams close the performance gap and how the Super Six stage unfolds.
