As i said before to a different member, his sharingan can assess chakra and how much force is being used inside the body.
He'll see the chakra being focused in Sakura's fist and switch from offense to defense.
Sakura doesn't have to put her chakra into her fist until the moment she decides to strike. Sasuke won't even expect Sakura to enhance her punch and right when she gets close to her target, the ground in this case, she could release it very suddenly and Sasuke wouldn't have the time to react to it. However, Sasuke's chances at victory would increase quite a bit once he gains intel on Sakura's one dimensional fighting style compared to Sasuke's versatile usage of ninjutsu, ninja tools and taijutsu.
Its hard to figure out who's smarter in battle since the manga showcases different types of intelligence: Battle tactics or Book smart.Sakura's main strong point in terms of knowledge is medical ninjustu and anything that's been written down in the Konoha Library.Sasuke can come up with good tactics even in part 1, although simple ones like the one used against part 1 naruto.

He's also shown a very good ability to adapt to any situation like in the Gaara rampage in the forest.The smoke bombs can easily be avoided on ground or mid air, he can simply use his CS2 to glide away from the blast radius.
I'm not underestimating Sasuke's intelligence, it does get underrated but Sakura has been portrayed to be the smartest member of team 7 even in part one when Sakura acted stupid compared to Sasuke. Even Sasuke

in comparison to Sakura when it comes to analytical ability. I'm not saying that Sakura is as good as analysing as Shikamaru but part two Sakura may very well be near part one Shikamaru's level in intelligence. This isn't a baseless claim and stems from Sakura's ability to

into revealing his final move before she used the antidote in order to make Sasori reveal his ultimate jutsu before Sakura brings her final tricks into the fight. It was a very clever way of catching Sasori off guard even if it wasn't very successful in changing the outcome of the fight. Her ability to analyse a mysterious ability is also very great as shown when Sakura managed to grasp the

after only observing it once. From all these feats, we can conclude that Sakura in the current chapters is far more intelligent than the confused Sasuke who fled the village at the end of part one.
Anyway while Sasuke can create an opening if he forces Sakura to jump into the air while she dodges a katon, she could choose to

like she did against Itachi's katon. Bare in mind that Itachi's katon's execution is far faster than Sasuke's since Itachi's hand seals are much faster so they can be dodged more easily.
Show me just how fast Sasuke is while in mid air because I'm not sure if he can easily hover in the air to dodge the gas bombs while his sharingan will be clouded with smoke.
Sasuke has shown even greater speed feats using CS1 like the scan before Sasuke can simply create an opening by utilizing his 3 tomoe sharingan and his enhanced speed.

Sakura's speed is higher than part one base Naruto's and her evasive speed is also much more formidable. It is said that medics need to train their evasive skills which means Sakura would have

.
Also is it a given that Sakura has inferior speed to part one Sasuke? Sure the data book may claim this but bare in mind it is outdated and Sakura most likely has gotten faster. For example, after punching a Juubi clone, she was fast enough to keep up with the momentum of the Juubi clone already flung far from Sakura's punch and then managed to follow up another punch despite the fact that the Juubi clone was already travelling backwards at a very fast speed prior to Sakura landing her second more powerful hit.
