What's the story

Spell
A quality wicket-taking spell for Ansari
Ansari broke the 81-run stand between Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis by dismissing the latter in the 10th over.
Du Plessis wanted to slog Ansari but found the fielder instead at deep mid-wicket. Fraser-McGurk was his next victim. He chipped the ball right back to the bowler.
KL Rahul, who made his debut for DC, got castled by Ansari after a failed sweep.
