Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

The Sporting Alfas will face the Madrid United CC (MUCC) in their third match of the ongoing Spanish T10 League on Friday. The Alfas won their opening game of the season and would be hoping to keep the winning momentum going in this match as well.

As far as the Madrid United CC are concerned, they won both their matches on Thursday defeating the Madrid and Pinatar CC. While they chased down 99 against the Madrid, the MUCC went on to defend a middling score of 83 against the Pinatar. They would be keen to make it a hattrick of victories when they take on the Sporting Alfas.
