Even if he is faster, which he isn't, Yoda can't beat Orbalisk Bane in a lightsaber duel. Because of his size, it'll be nigh-impossible for him to land a hit on the only exposed part of Bane, his head, which is simply an insurmountable advantage for Bane. Saying it works both ways is hilariously wrong, since Bane won't ever have to worry about being able to predict Yoda's attacks while he'll be able to attack him with impunity.

Aren't Bane's wrists also exposed though?
And charging at/over the enemy's head is a common tactic Yoda employs - watch his battles with Dooku and Sidious, both who are startled when Yoda leaps past them.
She has speed.

Those are an even smaller target and are constantly moving around, plus even if he hits them they regenerate.
Bane is good 2 meters tall and built like a brick shithouse plus covered in armor, its gonna be hard for Yoda to attack his head. The fact is that its simply not going to be possible for Yoda to get past Bane guard and hit such a hard to hit target, while in midair when his speed is largely obsolete. Bane will easily be able to see Yoda coming in the time it takes for him to jump up and attack.
Also remember that Yoda doesn't have any platforms he can stand on for added height or walls to jump off of here.

Its a massive advantage. The only place Yoda can hit is the hardest place to hit and he's too short to get to it without jumping. Yoda needs to hit his head and the only way he can do so is by jumping at him, making it childsplay for Bane to defend against him. And the extremely tiring nature of his style will wear on him when he has to work just to get into a position where he can attempt to attack Bane. Meanwhile Bane can devote everything to attacking Yoda.
As I said, its an insurmountable advantage.

LOL jumping 2 meters isn't a big deal, watch TPM.

Except he's never fought anyone of Yoda's stature before. 😉 And Bane doesn't do well against unfamiliar fighting styles.
Also, note the battlefield location: Yoda could Force push Bane into the pit.

The Orbalisks give him almost instant regeneration on top of their other advantages. 😉
No u.
In PoD. Note that he has no trouble fighting a dual wielder in RoT. Besides, he struggles against Kas'im because 'His mind was flooded with a million options of what his opponent might attempt, and he had no experience to draw on to eliminate any of them.' Yoda will attack his head. Every time. 😐
I'm only talking lightsaber duel.

Like regenerating his hands after they're cut off? 🙄
Not that it would happen quickly enough, since at that point Bane would be entirely defenseless.

No, seriously. Jumping 2 meters is cake for Jedi.

He actually struggles quite a bit against said dual wielder...

Too bad.

Well, I don't think "hits" necessarily means "cuts off", and Bane's still going to be momentarily unable to defend his...say, head.
I'm actually unsure if his whole wrist was exposed. I always assumed part of it was protected which is why his hand wasn't cut off in that section. But maybe it is possible to do so.
