Luminara and Anakin versus Obi-Wan and Bastila

Neutral setting. Each at their peak as of available media, except for Anakin who is in his AotC incarnation. No restrictions or arbitrary rules, and it is assumed each Jedi knows of the others' powers.

I want to say Kenobi/Shan.

How come?

Well, see, there's nothing quantifiable for Shan's powers & abilities. We know she has potent battle meditation, but that's not viable for this contest. I don't recall any other cutscenes demonstrating her skills apart from this one:

KOTOR Cutscene

Based on that, you could make the argument that the Sith Bastila killed might have been one of Revan's elite bodyguards, and therefore by no means average.

But, after this, it's all reputation and plot based assumptions for Shan, which paint her in a relatively positive light.

In any case, ROTS Kenobi would defeat AOTC Anakin. And I see Bastila > Unduli, but not by much at all.

How do we know it's not viable?

Battle meditation aids allies, it doesn't help in personal combat.

Do you agree that Kenobi/Shan would prevail?

I think it is likely. My opinion of Luminara's fighting abilities is higher than most, but Bastila was no chump. I think they would be fairly even of a match. Kenobi would be a lot for Anakin at this point, too.

It won't help her but it's help Obi and will demoralize Anakin and Luminara.

It requires active use, iirc. Also, Zonakin is not in this match.

My bad. Anyways other variants of battle mediation has some using it while they fight. Of course Bastila was never shown doing that but it doesn't mean she can't.

You can use something on a smaller scale to boost, true. The greater meditation requires lotus pose, etc. It may give her a buff, which further widens the gap between the combatants.

Team 2. Obi-Wan should be able to beat anyone on Team 1.
