Which animal would be the victor in a fight: a megalodon or a pod of eight orcas?

I personally support the orca because it's my most favourite animal and I know a lot about it. However, I want everyone's opinion so this is why I'm asking this question.

    The orcas would win. Orcas today kill larger whales. Orcas are the top predator of the ocean. The orca's better hunting methods and ability to hunt just about anything in the ocean drove megalodon to extinction. The orcas are one of the reasons megalodon is extinct. Orcas are just smarter than the megalodon. They can together think of a way to defeat the opponent. Orca's are able to solve problems unlike a shark. They're related to dolphins so they are pretty smart. When there are eight orcas and one megalodon the orcas have the advantage. If there was only one orca the shark would win. But the megaloon is cclearlyoutnumbered. All the whales will attack at different directions and the shark can't be in more that one place at the same time. The shark probably will kill at least one orca. But the shark does have some advantages. First it is big and strong. However it lacks the ability of intelligence to use these weapons to its advantage. The shark also has one thing the orcas can't match. It breathes underwater. The orcas have to breathe air at the surface. This is their handicap in the battle. The shark can swim to the depths of the ocean where the whales can't go(because the orcas have to be near the surface to breathe). From the depths the megalodon can try to ambush the orcas from the deep. If it tries this it can take one then pull it down in the ocean and suffocate it. Then the shark can swim back up and take another whale then repeat the process again. But this most likely won't work. The orcas can tell where the shark is ambushing from because they have echolocation. And if the shark tried this attack too many times, the orcas would eventually figure out how to stop the shark from doing so. Honestly I think the orcas would win, but with the megalodon killing some whales in the battle.
