Chasing a modest total of 141 runs, the Gladiators made 144 for two in 15.4 overs after a big second wicket partnership of 110 runs between opener Imran Nazir and Anamul Haque.
Imran blasted 75 from 43 balls with six towering sixes and as many fours while Haque gave him good support with an unbeaten 49. He hit five fours and a six in his 38-ball innings.
Earlier, the Gladiators captain Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and put Barisal Burners into bat who made 140 for seven in the allotted 20 overs.
Barisal openers Ahmed Shahzad and Hodge gave a 43-run start before Shahzad was caught by Saeed Ajmal off Shahid Afridi for 28.
Then three quick wickets fell to Afridi and Saeed Ajmal and Barisal was on 49-3 in 6.2 overs.
However, Hodge repaired the Barisal innings holding one end as wickets were falling with regular intervals at the other end.
Hodge remained not out on 70 which he made off 51 balls with four towering sixes and as many fours.
Afridi finished on three for 23 while Rana Naved-ul-Hasan claimed two for 24 and Saeed Ajmal took one wicket.
