Well, to be honest I always see force rage as something inherent to a force-user. Whereas an amp is something external, not residing within a force user.
Anyway, edited the OP.
Ahh, okay. It can sort of be seen as an amp but I personally see it the same way as you.
During RotS Anakin was fighting noticeably more capably than he ever had before, and was far more prone to tapping into his true potential via Force Rage. Decimating Dooku, decimating Cin Drallig with one arm, and hammering Kenobi with enough Force, while emotionally hindered, to come close to breaking his bones, are feats sufficient to contend with Bane's Orbalisk Armor physicals and certainly Malak's. From there Anakin also has a power edge and a very large skill edge.
Maul can't tap into the same depth of potential as Anakin, but, he can sustain himself through injuries and the like in order to keep himself fighting at peak capacity, and can push himself harder than usual when he needs to. He's also a more skilled melee fighter than either opponent. I'd also bank on him being powerful enough to at the very least hold his own, which strengthens his ability to keep the fight close.
Main issue is Bane's Orbalisk armor, but providing someone can take down Malak while the other survives against Bane, I can see Team 1 taking wins.

Question... How is team 1 going to kill Bane when he has indestructible armor and a top notch healing factor? They can wail on him with lightsabers but he isn't going down and neither of them has lightning to destroy his armor
