Scoring runs can become somewhat difficult as the match progresses on the pitch at Belfast's Civil Service Cricket Club. Due to the pitch being slow and lacking significant bounce, fast bowlers can claim wickets by enticing batsmen to play big shots. Batting first at Stormont could prove to be a good decision, and the team winning the toss might opt to bat first.
