Whom do you think are more favorites of the two ?

I would go with the Deccan Gladiators. They seems to be the more balanced side out of the two, with more experience when compared to the Maratha Arabians. They have the perfect opening pair (Watson and Shahzad), strong middle order (Pollard/Cutting/Lawrence), and the best pace (Cottrell/Zahoor) and spin (Fawad) bowling options. The Maratha Arabians are heavily dependent on a few individual players.

Before the finals, we are about to start the 3rd and 4th place match between Bangla Tigers and Qalandars. Qalandars had a very bad day yesterday and i am hoping that they win this 3rd position match. They truly deserve it as per their previous performance in this tournament.

Look like that Bangla tigers will win this match and gain the 3rd position. Although qalandars batted very well, but score between 100-120 is not a match winning score in T10. The luck did not favor them today also.

Edit: Tigers win. Looking forward to the final now.

Qalandars lost their third match in a row to finish at the 4th place. For the 3rd place playoff, they lost yet another close match to the Bangla Tigers. To be frank, although the scorecard would imply that it was a close match, in reality it was a one-sided affair. Andre Fletcher and Rilee Rossouw blasted around 75 runs from the first 6 overs and the match was very much over by then.

I was expecting the Deccan Gladiators to win the final, but their much hyped batting failed and they could manage only 87/8. Lasith Malinga once again showed his class, but he was ably supported by the other pacers as well (McClenaghan, Rajitha, Bravo.etc). It was surprising to see the Maratha Arabians going with an all-pace attack in such a short format. But in the end, it worked for them.

But Maratha Arabians won the series, because of Deccan Gladiators has not got a good start with their opener's and middle-order batting line-up collapsed so they have given the target of 88 runs to Maratha Arabians, it was too easy to chase for Maratha Arabians and they did.

Pathetic batting display by the Deccan Gladiators. I expected a lot from them, given the recent form of Mohammad Shahzad, Shane Watson and Kieron Pollard. But McClenaghan and Malinga put them in pressure from the start. They could manage only 87 runs and it is never going to be enough in T10 format. In the end, the final turned out to be very lop-sided.

Deccan Gladiators made a mess out of it and it turned out to be the most boring and disappointed final. I was not favoring any team but i did wanted to see a close final and it was one of the most boring match of the tournament. Having the low score to chase Maratha Arabians started fearlessly and easily managed to chase the target in just 7 overs.

The match was essentially lost during the first 3-4 overs, when the Deccan Gladiators run rate dipped to unsustainable levels. After 4 overs, the DG total was 27/3 and by then their three most important batsmen were back in pavilion (Pollard, Shahzad and Watson). Bhanuka Rajapaksa hit a few big boundaries.. but he didn't got as much strike as he wanted.
