The variety in Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling attack will pose a few tricky questions for Mumbai Indians, when the two teams square off in an Indian Premier League encounter on Thursday.

The two teams met with contrasting fortunes in their opening games.

While Sunrisers hardly broke sweat during their emphatic nine-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians lost a humdinger to CSK in the tournament opener.

Sunrisers is believed to have the most diverse bowling attack in the competition.

They have Bhuvneshwar Kumar with his superb skill sets of seam and swing, Billy Stanlake for raw pace and Siddarth Kaul to hit the deck.

Skipper Rohit Sharma would be expecting a better effort from his batsmen as 165 on a good batting track wasn't par for the course. Evin Lewis, who has two T20 hundreds against India, skipper himself and the explosive Kieron Pollard would like to show their big-hitting prowess.IPL 2018 Live updates of Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians match, straight from Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium21:42 IST: Mumbai Indians 147/8 in 20 overs.21:41 IST: FOUR! Mumbai end their innings with a boundary.

We've left out Mitch McCleneghan, and we've included Ben Cutting instead, who has played a lot of cricket here and knows the conditions pretty well.

We need to focus on the positives and we won't look too much into that.

We were outclassed by Bravo the other day, but we aren't disheartened by that.

We need to look at the bigger things, that's what has helped us get success in the past.

It's important to get momentum in the tournament.

We know the threat that SRH possess."19:33 IST: Kane Williamson: "Going to bowl.

Good surface for bowling so we need to bowl well first up.

Unfortunately Bhuvi misses out, he has a sore back, so Sandeep Sharma comes in making his debut for the franchise, so that's exciting for him.

I suppose momentum is a reflection.

We need to keep improving as a team.

We started well but beating a side of Mumbai's calibre isn't going to be easy.

No number in mind about what to chase.
