India, Jan. 27 -- New Zealand's bowlers have been living in the harshest corner for modern T20 cricket: when the ball is flying everywhere and plans feel like they are expiring with each ball.

Ahead of the next match against India, bowling coach Jacob Oram said the biggest headache isn't just the runs conceded, it is how hard it is to even locate a clear weakness against an in-form Abhishek Sharma.

"The answer to that is simple: it is very difficult," Oram said during a press conference. "When you look at his strike rate, it's hard, first, to identify any real weakness in his game, and then, secondly, to execute a plan against him. Execution is the hardest thing in cricket, whether you're batting or bowling."
