To my knowledge, sakura doesn't have any (effective) long range jutsu. the only thing that she can do to really hurt shikamaru is punch him. if she hits the ground she can either be caught, or shikamaru can jump. if she gets close, she gets caught, and since this is a battle to the death, shika's only choice is to decapitate her. she can only blitz from one angle (doesn't use clone jutsu), and she easily gets caught or dodged. she screams "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" at the top of her lungs. knowing sakura, she'll make the first move. For example, how she rushed madara for literally no reason.

Basically i think shika wins because he has a defense to everything sakura has. Honestly, the argument comes down to whether people think that shika can hold sakura down for long enough to decapitate her (or if she can even break out at all)
