The numenoreans didn't actually defeat Sauron, as there was no confrontation. We don't know if any human can defeat a balrog and the winged dragons were not defeated by Men either.
If Sauron was indeed mightier than late Morgoth, I doubt that the valars would have sent just the istari, and not a full host of "high" elves, lead by the mightiest in arms of all Arda, as they did with Morgoth.
