If we're talking about their Boruto counterparts, then victory certainly goes to Shikamaru. He's a jonin, and Shino is still a chunin (and he's certainly not a victim of situation like Naruto and Sasuke were). Even if we didn't consider ranks, Shikamaru's genius has been shown to be able to overcome vastly superior firepower and ability. Shino is strong but it's likely he's still a chunin because he's capped out.
