How, though?
Surik's more powerful given Traya scaling. She's also one of the three most powerful Jedi who ever lived by SWTOR, alongside Revan and the Hero of Tython.

Maul isn’t competent enough to win
Granted his opponents are trash tier too

Traya's both more powerful and masterful than Maul by a decent margin, in fact I'd say in the Trayus Core she's a whole other tier above him. Her spirit is confirmed to be a stronger dark side entity than Sel-makor and a greater source of dark side power than the Dark Temple on Dromund Kaas.
As for Surik's own power, Scourge puts her and Revan above all other Jedi:
He has more than enough experience to make the claim:

To be fair, the KOTOR II Exile and Meetra are all but different people if one simply looks at their competence. I find it highly likely Drew didn't care to study someone else's character and considering he even sacrificed "his own" character in Revan to the Vitiate wank of that novel, I'd say without reservation that KOTOR II "Meetra" is the more powerful version.
That being said, Maul is a rather inconsistent character and I feel like this comes about from simply being portrayed in multiple forms of media and by different people regardless of who/what the character truly is. IE: It's to be expected.
Operating under the assumption this is Maul as of SoD to give him his best chance, that is all it really is, a chance and to be frank not a very favorable one. If we assume that by "Meetra" this is also the canon LS Exile then by the end of KOTOR II then I don't think the team will slaughter him in sabers given that Meetra would be more inclined to fight defensively and I doubt Scourge's ability to deal a killing blow without more active application of skill from his partner. That being said, the team would eventually win the saber duel as I also find it an impossibility that Maul kills either one of them quickly, he then proceeds to get frustrated as he is oft to do (one of the few things kept truly consistent with the character) and dies via over-extension after a moderately difficult duel if it is kept just to that. It also goes basically without saying that Maul's dueling prowess is > his realized force power and given the power of his two opponents he's not going to be able to use the Force exclusively against one without the other punishing him for it. Basically leaving him in the above described position where as his options and stamina dwindle frustration will set in and Maul will slip up for the loss.
As a little joke here at the end: Likely from tripping over a rock and impaling himself on his own saber or something equally retarded.
What? Traya's spirit>Sel-Makor? That's retarded, to be frank.

If we're following your line of reasoning, then Traya should be more powerful than Baras as well given that the Wrath has sensed Baras before and deemed Traya more powerful. Yet her codex entry tells us that she was 'dominated' by Baras into doing his bidding, suggesting that Baras has superior power. So forgive me if I'm not exactly too sure about the validity of the Wrath's judgement of her power.
That's great, but... how does this help her chances against Maul? All this does is put her an unknown distance above nameless, featless, and most likely fodder Jedi.
