Laxman Manjrekar top-scored with 27, but the Gladiators batsmen failed to convert their starts.
Speaking about his team’s entry into the final and his fine all-round show, Janardhanan, who won the man-of-the-match award, said: “We were delighted to have bowled them out for 120. Chasing such totals must be done carefully and so we decided not to aim for sixes and boundaries but keep maintaining the run flow. Experience has taught me how to chase small scores.”
