Pal, this was made before that episode where Starlight gained a lot of magic spells and the movie where Sunset gained the power of mind reading.

In the first Equestria Girls movie, she was shown to be able to teleport after going back into the pony world after 30 moons. The movies that happened after that are unlikely to have occured after 30 moons, so it's fair to assume that Sunset is not out of practice. What cannot be assumed, however, is that Sunset and Twilight have equal knowledge. Sunset has stated in one of the shorts where tried to find out about the magic in the human world that she prefered to do things hands/hoofs on while Twilight has always been more about reading. As such, they likely have studied different things due to their study methods.

While yes, Sunset is a strategist, she has shown time and time again that she need a lot of time to do so, however, Starlight's magic would have overwhelmed her by then.
