Do they have time to prep before the fight? If so, it goes to Shikamaru, no doubt.

Also, where does the fight take place?

If this was in a tournament arena, for example, with no prep beforehand, I'd say 8/10 times, the win goes to Sakura. With Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Technique, she is virtually immortal for a long while, and can kill a man with a punch (if she can shatter concrete when annoyed by her daughter, imagine what she can do to bone). The space around them is finite and flat so not many places for Shikamaru to hide. He'd really have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get out of this one (or he could just kuchiyose one! haha! I'm here all week, folks!)

But if it just happened, like, Sakura just barged into his office trying to kill him, and the village is uninhabited? The guy could just run out the window, hide in an alleyway until her Strength of a Hundred Technique runs its course, and formulate the appropriate counter-strategy, and enact it.
