In a closely-contested opening game, Jwala-Ashwini broke away from 19-19 and converted the lone game point opportunity to grab the initiative.
They dominated the second game and raced to a 5-0 lead before going from 10-6 to 15-6 up.
However, Muskens-Piek fought back to win nine straight points and draw level at 15, but the Indians did not let the advantage slip and won six of the next seven points to clinch the title.
This was Jwala and Ashwini's first title since their reunion after the 2012 London Olympics.
