Alfastars : Journey so far..
Won against Roaring warriors, Targaryens, Dark Knights and World Dominators.
Lost to Devils United, Shadows and Hurricanes.

Rishabh - He has given couple of good performance but he hasn't lived up to the expectations. He scored a blistering century in their first match but since then he hasn't played any noteworthy innings. He all round abilities will be key for them in today's game.	Gunaratne - This hard hitting batsmen of AS has been key performer for them. One of the main reasons why they ended in top four. This slogger has been playing at various position and has amassed up two centuries so far.	Sai Jagan - Their go-to man.

Talking about this tournament, they have two inform batsmen at the moment with them at the top of the order in form of Gunaratne and babar Azam. Even Rish has played some crucial knocks at times. Bowling looks strong for them now with the inclusion of Sai Jagan. 

Babar Azam - He has been consistent for Alfastars. Like GUNA he has been batting at various position and has been preryy decent at every position. He has made two brilliant half centuries so far.
