Jacob Oram could miss the rest of the one-day series against Australia after breaking a finger in New Zealand's record-breaking 10-wicket victory.The all-rounder suffered a fracture to the ring finger on his left hand when catching Mitchell Johnson at long-on.
Oram, who starred in the recent CB Series, now faces a race against time to be fit for the World Cup next month.
The injury soured a stunning win for New Zealand - the first time Australia have lost a ODI by 10 wickets.
The 28-year-old proved his World Cup credentials with some explosive displays with the bat against England and Australia in the Commonwealth Bank campaign.
He scored the fastest ever one-day century by a New Zealander in blasting an unbeaten 101 from just 71 balls against the hosts in Perth.
Oram also took a liking to the England attack, hitting 86 in Adelaide and an undefeated 54 in Perth.
