Half centuries from Rebecca Stokell and Rachel Delaney, plus an unbeaten 48 from skipper Laura Delany saw the Typhoons beat the Scorchers to seal their first Super Series title at Malahide.
Chasing what looked a challenging total of 235, the Typhoons blew away their opposition, losing just three wickets and having 8.1 overs to spare.
Delaney dominated an opening stand of 48 with YMCA wicket-keeper Sarah Forbes (10), to lay a solid platform for the chase, which continued when Stokell joined her in the middle.

The pair then proceeded to take the game away from their opponents with a second wicket stand of 98 in 18 overs, with Stokell top scoring with 67 from 83 balls (7 fours, 1 six), and Delany making 64 from 95 balls (8 fours).
The dismissal of Delaney, trapped lbw by left-arm spinner Leah Paul (2-49) offered brief hope for the Scorchers, but that was quickly extinguished by Stokell and Laura Delany, who added a rapid 57 in just eight overs.
Stokell fell to Sophie MacMahon (1-41) but Delany continued to score quickly, hitting seven boundaries in her 48 from 42 balls, with Orla Pendergast chipping in with 14 not out in the seven wicket win.
Earlier Leah Paul carried her bat in an unbeaten 81 which saw her anchor the innings after Prendergast (1-15) had claimed the early scalp of the in-form Gaby Lewis.
At 119 for 5 in the 36th over, it seemed as if a total of 200 would be the height of the Scorchers ambitions, but the momentum of the innings changed with the arrival of Jenny Sparrow.
She clubbed 9 boundaries in a hard-hit 60 off 55 balls, adding 103 in just 79 balls with Paul, whose haul saw her finish the leading run scorer in the series.

Although the spoils were shared four all in the eight game series, Laura Delany collected the trophy for the Typhoons by virtue of their superior Nett-Run-Rate (NRR).
