ATN secures TV and digital rights to broadcast IPL 2024 in Afghanistan

As the cricket world starts gearing up for another exciting IPL, Ariana Television Network is once again thrilled to announce it has secured the exclusive rights to broadcast this year’s event live in Afghanistan on Ariana Television and its website.

That’s right, fans will once again be treated by Ariana Television to all the thrills, spills and unforgettable IPL moments in the comfort of their own homes.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is scheduled to kick off on Friday, March 22 and end on May 26 – which is two months of thrilling cricket.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) this week released a partial schedule featuring 21 matches of the new season from March 22 to April 7.

The final of the IPL 2024 will be played on May 26 – five days before the ICC World T20 2024 opener in the United States and Caribbean.

While we know the event will run from March 22, the complete IPL 2024 schedule, including dates for knockout matches, and the final, is yet to be released by the BCCI.

What we do know is defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chennai on Friday, in the first match of the tournament.

The tournament like last year will have 70 league matches, with teams playing 14 matches each.

The top four sides make it through to the playoffs, which will have a Qualifier 1, an Eliminator followed by Qualifier 2 and the final.

The first game will start at 7.00pm Kabul time due to the preceding opening ceremony. Otherwise, on days with only one game, play will commence at 6.30pm.

On double-header days, matches will be played at 2.30pm and 6.30pm respectively.

The ten teams that participated in last year’s tournament will all however return to compete in this year’s IPL.

The teams are:

– Chennai Super Kings (Current champions)
– Delhi Capitals
– Gujarat Titans
– Kolkata Knight Riders
– Lucknow SuperGiants
– Mumbai Indians
– Punjab Kings
– Rajasthan Royals
– Royal Challengers Bangalore
– Sunrisers Hyderabad

IPL 2024 sees some exciting team changes, reshuffled lineups, and strategic player acquisitions. For instance, the Kolkata Knight Riders have added Mitchell Starc, the most expensive player at the December auction. He was acquired for ₹24.75 crores (US$3.1 million), a new IPL record.

The IPL 2024 will take place in ten cities across India and each team will host matches in a home and away format before the knockout and final matches, which will be played at the Narendra Modi stadium.

Early predictions are that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) could retain their title, especially as they have won it five times already – although Mumbai Indians are also joint favorites.

However, Mumbai Indians captain, Hardik Pandya, has been cause for concern for the team. Dealing with an injury, the star all-rounder’s participation in this year’s IPL still hangs in the balance.

But Hardik is working hard to get back to full fitness ahead of the upcoming session and has been working hard in the gym.

How to watch

These matches will be broadcast live on Ariana Television and streamed live on www.arianatelevision.com. Once the BCCI has released the full schedule, cricket fans will be informed.

On Friday, March 22, Ariana Television will kick off IPL season with a pre-match show at 6.30pm. The game will start at 7pm.

BAYAT POWER’S HISTORIC PURCHASE OF SIEMENS SGT-A45 TURBINE CELEBRATED AS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARDS GENERATING ELECTRICITY IN AFGHANISTAN

Siemens SGT-A45, The World’s Most Advanced Gas Turbine, Will Form Core Of Bayat Power-1, And Produce Electricity For 200,000 Afghan Homes and Businesses

Kabul, Afghanistan—April 15, 2019—Bayat Power, the power generation division of Bayat Energy (www.bayat-energy.com), Afghanistan’s largest Afghan-owned Energy Exploration, Development and Production Company, announced today that the Company has achieved a crucial milestone in its mission to provide affordable and reliable electric power to all Afghans, with the Company’s acquisition and shipment of the Siemens SGT-A45 Mobile Turbine, the world’s most advanced gas to electricity power generation solution.

The Siemens SGT-A45—made in Houston, Texas by Siemens USA —can generate up to 41 megawatts (MW) of power at 50 HZ. The Siemens SGT-A45 forms the core of the first phase of Bayat Power-1, Bayat Power’s Gas to Electricity power plant, located in Northern Afghanistan.

Bayat Power’s acquisition of the Siemens SGT-A45—a powerful symbol of the Afghan-American partnership, which is rebuilding Afghanistan’s power sector while also creating jobs in America—was commemorated at a ceremony attended by high level representatives including:

  • H. E. Roya Rahmani, Afghan Ambassador to the United States
  • Karen L. Freeman, Assistant to the Administrator for the Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan Affairs, USAID
  • Dr. Ehsan Bayat, CEO of Bayat Power and Founder, The Bayat Group
  • Dan Simpson, Executive Vice President Global Solutions, Siemens USA
  • Richard Wolf, President and CEO, Relevant Power Solutions, LLC

“As the representative of The Government of Afghanistan, I want to thank Dr. Ehsan Bayat and Bayat Power; as well as the Siemens/RPS team for being our partners in the quest to develop Afghanistan’s vast energy resources,” said H.E. Roya Rahmani, the Ambassador of Afghanistan to the United States.

“Bayat Power is proud to be the very first power company in the world to operate the Siemens SGT-A45 Mobile Turbine—and to harness its unmatched power production capabilities in service to the Afghan nation,” said Dr. Ehsan Bayat, CEO of Bayat Power and the Chairman of The Bayat Group.  “This project and the Siemens SGT-A45 fast power solution will form the foundation upon which we will create thousands of jobs and provide the essential electricity required to create jobs, companies, and entire industries in Afghanistan.”

This first phase of Bayat Power-1 is scheduled to become operational in late summer 2019 and generate enough electricity for 200,000 Afghan homes and businesses. When all three phases of Bayat Power-1 are completed, the plant will generate 200 megawatts of power, enough electricity to serve millions of Afghan residential and commercial users.
