People always say Sasori is one of the weaker members of the Akatsuki but I think he is incredibly underrated. Sasori has access to Iron Sand, and that stuff is incredibly durable. Hell, it took punches from Sakura without losing its form, so I'm sure it would be able to absorb Deidara's explosions. And as you said, Sasori doesn't really have a body so the C4 wouldn't work against him. With Sasori's versatility, he should be able to hit Deidara even if he keeps his distance, and if Deidara gets hit even once it's over because of the poison. Now, if Deidara decides to blow himself up Sasori would die, not even the Iron Sand could defend against something like that. But, that would require Deidara to blow himself up. So if its like a sparring match, Sasori should win. If its a fight to the death, then it would be a draw.
