Updated March 19, 2012 23:11:01

The Australian women's cricket team remain undefeated on their tour of India after claiming the second T20 match in Vizag.

Another unbeaten half-century to Jess Cameron (68 not out) helped the visitors to a comfortable eight-wicket win with 16 balls remaining.

After winning the toss and electing to bat India reached 3 for 111 with a run out and wickets to Julie Hunter (1 for 27) and Sarah Coyte (1 for 20) the only breakthroughs.

With the early loss of Leah Poulton (1), Cameron and Meg Lanning (40) again combined to build an integral partnership of 98 runs.

Cameron had no trouble finding the boundary during her stint at the crease, with seven fours and two sixes as she reached her total off 54 balls.

Lanning was run out in the 17th over with the visitors at 2 for 103 but Cameron notched the final runs needed for victory, with Australia finishing 2 for 115 in the 18th over.

The third T20 will be played at the same venue on Wednesday.
