Collins, ranked 53rd and the Australian Open finalist from two years ago, won in two hours, saving nine of 10 break points against her serve.
Rybakina came to Miami after withdrawing prior to the start of her Indian Wells title defence with gastrointestinal issues and never reached her top level here.
Collins claimed her third WTA honour, her first at the Masters level and her first since 2021.
