Close: Who doesn't want to use a sword against a ranged firearm? I mean its not like the pistol can fire from much farther away and pelt you with rounds decreasing your shield before you even get close to use said sword. Plus, being a highly experienced Spectre, Saren is going to be able handle Kai Leng in a close range battle provided Kai Leng even gets close enough to use that sword. That pistol that Saren has is going to be to handle Kai Leng from far away and deliver some hits before Kai Leng gets close. MAJOR EDGE: Saren Arterius

Long: The Palm Blaster doesn't even have much a range, I'm also pretty sure that Saren's pistol even has better range that it. The Palm Blaster is one trick pony and once it loses the element of surprise it basically becomes useless in combat. The Master Rifle has range, accuracy, power, a large clip size and is being held by someone that is highly experienced with firearms. Kai Leng doesn't even have the remotest advantage here and gets crushed in this category. MASSIVE EDGE: SAREN ARTERIUS

Special: Both have shield boost, but Saren's biotics are perfect for battlefield control. Kai Leng's abilities require him getting close to even deliver damage and that is something he'll have serious trouble with trying to even do. Once Saren manages to spot Kai Leng its pretty much a promise that the latter won't even get close to use any of his attacks. MASSIVE EDGE: SAREN ARTERIUS

Deadliest Warrior: Saren Arterius- I'm going to be perfectly honest here and say that Kai Leng doesn't have a shot in hell of even remotely having the ability to beat Saren. Like literally zero when he's going up against one of the most legendary Spectres of all time. He has no weapon edges and his accomplishments mainly rely on dirty tricks to get him ahead, but those won't work in this case. They tend to become very obvious after the first usage and it'll show here. Hell, his only notable accomplishment of fighting Thane is a bad one since A. Thane was dying by that point and B. Thane was kicking his ass till Kai Leng bitched out. Saren is experienced, has notable accomplishments and dominates the battlefield due to his variety.
