Rhys McKenna (21), Erica Kershaw (28), Molly Ward (25) and Merinda Hale (22) all got starts but couldn’t convert as Prahran were bowled out for 159 .
Melbourne’s Stephanie Townsend did the damage with the ball, taking 3-16 off 9 overs.
In reply, Melbourne’s opening pair of Amy Yates and Amy Vine put on a 79-run stand which swung the match in Melbourne’s favour.
The Demons lost wickets in their middle order but it was an important 18 (40) from Ella Hayward that helped to steer Melbourne to the title.
