Wouldn't it really depend on the nature of Thanos/Bor's powers in the Matrix? By placing the battle there, the OP is essentially saying they aren't using their real-world powers, but mental manifestations of them. This isn't a traditional feats battle, which the Marvel team would roflstomp.
Grandmaster feat is wildly overrated. But Thanos's mind is formidable. Taking Neo/Smith due to experience.

unless Thanos and Bor had extensive knowledge of the matrix they would IMO not realize they could exceed the limits of power they already have so more then likely they would mentally limit themselves to there real world limits.

Yes, Bor and Thanos would only be mental manifestations of themselves in the digital world...
As pertains Thanos's the Grandmaster feat, it was never a real feat in the 1st place; the Grandmaster faced a robot the entire time...not the real Thanos...Thanos even called the Grandmaster a fool for not wearing the Mind Gem during the confontation (as the Mind Gem would have alerted the Grandmaster to the deception).

It was more of a prep feat. Thanos basically out-prepped the Grandmaster, or in a sense "out-cheated" him.

Just for you. Thanos has greater Tech then the Matrix, I imagine him not only good at mechanics but also in programming. He had contact to technologies which are so far beyond the Matrix that he would see it for what it is, just a code. With his experience (also the rality gem comes to mind) and willpower, he would outsmart/outshine Neo and Smith.

I always read all of the posts. It has not yet killed me.
Justification: Thanos is simply much more powerful than Neo/Smith. He humiliates people who are themselves much, much more powerful than Neo/Smith.
Neo/Smith's only hope lies in their esoteric powers. The only esoteric power that would be useful is Smith's ability to convert others into copies of himself. Even if he tried that on Thanos, I doubt it would work as he has always been highly resistant to any kind of tampering.
But that's moot, because Smith won't be touching him. Smith's best speed and durability feats show no reason to believe he doesn't get one-shotted by an energy beam a pico-second after the fight begins.
I didn't say all this earlier because I thought it was obvious.

A) Thanos isn't going to place any limitations on himself. He likely recognizes immediately that he's in the matrix due to his intelligence, his familiarity with technology, with reality warping and with being in other realities and planes of existence. If he doesn't, he assumes that he's as powerful as he normally is. Either way, Neo/Smith gain no tangible advantage here.
B) Even at their peak, Neo/Smith simply aren't up to the task. They aren't that strong, that fast or that durable compared to, say, Silver Surfer and the Forgotten One. In other words, they don't have the powers necessary to do anything to Thanos at all.
