For problems like this you can break the motion of balls in two components, horizontal component and vertical component(downward component) .
Now, the ball falls on the ground only due the vertical part. So think about what is different in the vertical components. In the ball dropped the initial velocity in vertical direction was 0. Same was for the other ball(it had different horizontal velocity). Now the acceleration on both the balls was same so the time taken for them to reach the ground should be same. Hence same vertical speed. Horizontal speed is obvious that ball thrown horizontally will be faster.
