The Lightning will battle Melbourne University for the flag at the State Netball Hockey Centre in Melbourne.
The Lightning ended the home and away season second on the ladder with a 12-3-3 record before going down to Melbourne University 5-2 in their qualifying final.
However, the Lightning, who are captained by Chelsie Hird, capitalised on their fast brand of play combined with plenty of intensity to hit back with a 4-2 victory over Mornington Peninsula in last week's preliminary final to secure their grand final berth.
Standouts in the victory included Hird, vice-captain Tamara Paull, Kate Robertson, Jessie Nixon and Morgan Green.
Sunday's grand final begins at 2pm.
While the Lightning's senior women have a grand final to look forward to, their reserves team bowed out in the preliminary final when beaten by Mornington Peninsula last week.
