Shino was lethal, Kiba was considered better than Naruto and Hinata was ok (even though she was far from Neji). Even the Ino-Chika-Sho was balanced despite being based on their family (Shino was average, Shikamaru had huge intelligence but low physicical abilities, Choji had good physical abilities but was not great).

Of course no team can be perfectly balanced but still, they tend toward this balance. If you take the teams from Naruto just after their graduation, I think the three of them were quite evenly matched (Sasuke was the best but Sakura was rather terrible in taijutsu and Naruto was too hot-headed to perform well for instance).

Now, compare Boruto's team and the team of the kakashi kid. I wouldn't exagerate by saying that Sarada can take the whole opposite team by herself without sweating I think.

Also, I don't think the two boys 1 girl was really a thing, just a...common "coincidence" xD.

But anyways, we already knew team Boruto so I would not really want another but I wish they had tried to explain the choice in the episode. (I don't know, "we changed the criteria" "yeah Orochimaru requested this team" or whatever)

You are right at some points but Sarada's whole team isn't opposite, only Boruto is the problem for her. Besides I couldn't think of a better team for Boruto since he and Sarada are completely opposite(fact: opposites attract each other) like Naruto and Sasuke and Mitsuki is the mediator like Sakura(though MUCH stronger than her) and frankly speaking Naruto's team wasn't actually much balanced in the first place either since only Naruto's grades were horrible but in missions he was as strong as Sasuke and it wasn't at all like Sasuke is the strongest in the team and then comes Sakura and then Naruto.

Naruto and Sasuke were on the same level and Sakura was waaaay beyond them so I mean you can't totally compare anything with something else if the original one has some flaws in it too. I hope you are getting my point.
