Spoilers (from Username Taken): Daredevil
and Psylocket trade blows, stalemating each other. Psylocke realizes she can't
take him hand to hand, so she switches to telepathy. The telepathic attack
causes a massive feedback to Betsy because of Daredevil's enhanced senses. They
resume trading blows. Matt retreats to the shadows while Betsy hunts after him.
Daredevil kicks her off a ledge but realizes she's falling to her doom. He
jumps down, catches her and swings her through a window. Psylocke then kicks him
in the chest as she was only pretending to fall to draw him out. She pins him
down and prepares to Psi-dagger him. Matt reasons with her and makes her
realize that the X-men will round up the Avengers and leave them on an Island
of their own. Daredevil asks if that's what she really wants. They both stop
fighting and DD swings away. Final verdict: Draw.
“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Aha! My hunch was right. They ended in a tie.
From the comments I read, technically she lost. I mean, Daredevil makes her question Cyclops's orders (making the enemy agree with yourself is some sort of victory); plus, he landed the most blows (and the final blow, when he kicked her away from him).
Although, in Betsy's defense, she managed to slam Daredevil against a wall (which injured him enough to leave a blood trail when he tried to escape) and almost "psi-daggered" him.
Well, it doesn't matter who won in the end, because the fight was awesome and both of them were great!
BTW, Psylocke also had a cameo in New Avengers #28 this week: she appears among the X-Men that try to stop Luke Cage, Spider-Woman and Hawkeye from escaping. They fail, but it turns out that the "escape" only happened in Danger's virtual reality...
Deodato can definitely draw a stunning Psylocke; she looks absolutely gorgeous!
