Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Bard win this lane: your W root and Bard's Q stun create a double-CC chain that Alistar cannot engage through safely, and your range advantage lets you punish Ashe's shorter auto range.
Post-6, the lane becomes dangerous — Ashe R from off-screen into Alistar W+Q is a one-shot setup you have no mobility to escape, so you must play further back and respect the threat.

Use your W to pre-root Alistar's dash path — if you can predict his W trajectory and root him mid-air, the engage is completely nullified and Bard can follow up with Q.
Coordinate with Bard so his Q stun chains into your fourth shot for maximum burst on Ashe, who is your primary kill target.

Push the wave when Alistar overextends for an engage attempt — Jhin's wave clear with E is reliable enough to maintain pressure, and a pushed wave denies Alistar the bush access he needs to hide his engage angle.
Avoid letting the wave freeze near your tower, as that gives Alistar safe bush access and shortens the gap he needs to cover.

Do not stand in a straight line with Bard — Ashe R travels in a line and a well-aimed R can stun both of you simultaneously, giving Alistar a free W+Q on you while you are already CC'd.
Always position at an angle to Bard to avoid being caught in the same stun.
