September 2025: Your Quick Look at the Biggest Cricket Stories

If you’re scrolling through the latest sports buzz, September 2025 was a packed month for cricket fans. From record‑breaking innings in the Asia Cup to a surprising upset in Abu Dhabi and a painful ODI loss for England, we’ve got the top stories all in one place.

Abhishek Sharma’s Historic T20 Asia Cup Run

India’s young firecracker, Abhishek Sharma, rewrote the T20 Asia Cup record book. In the match against Sri Lanka, his quick‑fire 61 pushed his tournament tally past the 300‑run mark – a feat no one had reached in a single edition before. That puts him just 11 runs shy of Virat Kohli’s 319 in the 2014 World Cup, and it eclipses Mohammad Rizwan’s 2022 tally. Sharma’s consistency is the real story; this was his seventh straight 30‑plus score in T20Is, and he hammered a half‑century in just 25 balls. Fans are already talking about whether he could break Kohli’s record before the tournament ends.

Bangladesh’s Calm 7‑Wicket Victory Over Hong Kong

While India celebrated Sharma, Bangladesh quietly booked a win in Abu Dhabi. Litton Das led from the front with a breezy 59 off 39 balls, and Towhid Hridoy added a useful 35. Their 95‑run partnership for the third wicket turned a modest 145‑run chase into a smooth finish. Bangladesh’s bowlers – Taskin, Mustafizur, and Rishad – kept Hong Kong to 144, securing a 7‑wicket win and vital points in the group stage. The result also marked Hong Kong’s second straight loss, putting pressure on them for the next match.

On the other side of the world, England faced a harsh reality check in Leeds. South Africa’s Aiden Markram smashed 86 off 55 balls, while Keshav Maharaj claimed 4/22. England were bowled out for just 131 – their lowest home total against South Africa in 26 years. To make matters worse, debutant Sonny Baker recorded the worst figures by an England bowler on ODI debut. South Africa chased the target in just 21 overs, taking a 1‑0 lead in the series.

These three stories capture the range of emotions that September brought to cricket lovers: joy from a record‑breaking innings, confidence from a steady chase, and disappointment from an unexpected defeat. Whether you follow Indian talent, Bangladeshi resilience, or the ebb and flow of the England‑South Africa rivalry, the month offered something worth discussing.

Looking ahead, Sharma’s momentum could push him past Kohli’s record, Bangladesh will aim to keep the points rolling, and England will need to regroup quickly before the next ODI.
