Jaipur would be desperate to end their losing streak when they face Kolkata in their IPL match on Saturday.

The recent injuries to the key members of the team -- South Africa captain Graeme Smith and England's Dmitri Mascarenhas has weakened the side even more. And if they intend to get the better of Ganguly's men, they would have to come up with some special show.

Jaipur not only lost all three matches they have played so far in the IPL-3 but also the players in the Jaipur outfit have not been able to make any impression at all, except for Yusuf Pathan, whose hurricane 37-ball 100 against Mumbai in the opening match was simply brilliant.

Kolkata, on the other hand, had a good start to the tournament, winning two out of three matches they have played so far.

However, they do have a lot of concerned areas, those need immediate attention. They urgently need to improve their bowling at the death overs and batsmen will have to take more responsibility if they want to win more matches in the league stage.

Nevertheless, Kolkata will be strengthened by the return of swashbuckling West Indies batsman Chris Gayle who joins the team in this match.

All in all, fans can expect a good battle as Shane Warne and his men would do everything to capitalise on the opportunity to bounce back in the tournament against not-so-impressive Kolkata's batting and bowling line-up.
