How to Play This Matchup
Early Aggression
Akshan needs to punish Cassiopeia before they scale. Zone them off CS levels 1-5 and look for solo kills before first back. If Cassiopeia reaches 2 items even, you're in trouble.

Akshan deals AD damage while Cassiopeia deals AP. Build resistances accordingly  don't stack the wrong type.
Hit and Run

Cassiopeia's main weakness: Burst, hard engage, mana early. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
