Fighting cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by aligning Akali and Kai'Sa together, you will not be granting your team much utility. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Kai'Sa teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
