Even if Naruto is rusty, he isn't someone to scoff at, he might have improved on other ninja abilities which he would have been lacking during their last fight, he might have become better at fuinjutsu, ninjutsu and taijutsu. And he held back in their last fight after he fought for like 2-4 days straight in the war, wheras sasuke fought for an evening, also Naruto didn't utilize many of the other tailed beasts chakras in his final fight, simply relying on himself and Kurama to win, he didn't use any special tailed beast abilities like he did with Kaguya or Madara probably because he wanted to beat Sasuke on his own terms.

Also Sasuke still has an arm missing, and Naruto has an artificial arm which can potentially let him use Wood Release, which would suit him perfectly unlike other characters, because he is more or less a relative albeit distant of Hashirama and has Ashura's chakra, something no other character had during a Hashirama transplant.

I'm gonna bank my money on Naruto for this, Sasuke is no where near as ruthless as he used to be either, Sasuke is emotionally rusty, but Naruto is rusty with dem skillz yo.
