Sakura has Strength of a Hundred and from what I have seen, way more reserves than Temari. I agree that Temari can probably keep her at bay for a long period of time, but with Sakura's reserves capable of lasting the entire war, her healing, Katsuyu, strength, and various other things, I don't see Temari solo'ing her. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Sakura dodge sound during the Chunin Exams utilizing the Replacement technique? If that's the case, she can use that to dodge Temari's wind. No way someone who has surpassed a Kage caliber Shinobi is going down easily.

Now then. Let's talk about team Sakura. Individually they each have pros and cons. Ino. She lacks combat ability on her own. However, her entire move set revolves around combinations. Her Mind Transfer can be a deadly force. For example, she could transfer over to Temari, allowing Sakura to get close enough to land a deadly punch that could one shot. I wouldn't underestimate the deadly Mind techniques. Not to mention she can use it on multiple enemies at the same time. She is also capable of reading a targets mind, thus making it hard for strategists like Temari. Then we have Shizune. Now, she isn't going to be beneficial for offensive purposes. Against team Hinata, her offensive capabilities are lacking. However, her medical abilities will benefit her comrades. She can protect Ino when she is transferring. She can heal her allies. And if Hinata gets close, she can use her poison gas to force her to retreat. Shizune is a Medical Shinobi who hasn't mastered the Strength of Hundred, so her top priority is to heal and protect. Finally, Sakura. Sakura is a Kage Caliber Shinobi. How? Tsunade is a Kage caliber Shinobi. Sakura had surpassed her thus makes her Kage Caliber. She also has a deadly kill shot punch. The amazing Strength of a Hundred healing technique. The deadly Katsuyu, a giant slug capable of separating itself on a whim so any attack done will just tire the attacker out, spit acid almost as large as her, and be utilized to communicate and heal others. And various other abilities.

Now we got team Hinata. First there is Temari. She is a killer Wind user. Perhaps the best there is. She is best used at long to med ranges. Her winds can be deadly enough to cut a large quantity of trees. She's also a killer thinker and strategist. Then we got TenTen. Now some might think she's useless, and for the most part she is. But it's what she has that makes her deadly. She has the Sixth Paths tools at her disposal. So Temari can benefit from having her and Bashosen. With Bashosen, she can fire a wave of Fire at the enemy, and Temari can use her wind techniques to strengthen the fire. Not to mention she has other Sixth paths tools capable of sealing away opponents. Ten Ten alone isn't deadly, but with her tools, she's quite the opponent. She even has a kunai bomb tool, that explodes and launches various kunai. Finally we got Hinata. Sakura isn't the only one deadly at close quarters, Hinata can shut down the Chakra points. And unlike Naruto, these gals don't have a Kurama to bail them out. So it will be highly interesting to see what is more superior. Hinata's speed with Eight Trigrams, or Sakura's speed with a single punch. If Hinata can hit all points in Sakura's arm before she can release the built up Chakra, she just might be able to stop the deadly Haruno's strength. She also has the Byakugan and a vision of 10 kms. So not much is getting passed her vision.

So based off this. Team Hinata has the ability to win from long range, by using Temari and Ten Ten casting jutsu from long range with Hinata keeping targets at bay. While Team Sakura has the capability of kill shotting from close quarters. It all comes down to if Ino being able to mind transfer to multiple targets and Sakura able to close the gap and hitting the enemy. Or if Temari and Ten Ten can succeed in overwhelming the enemy from afar and if Hinata can stop Sakura by shutting her points down.
