These platforms have different missions.
Kilo is NOT an effective ASW platform, and its CCS design and weapons loadout show it. The same goes for almost all SSKs.
Akula was created to kill submarines. A lot of westerners are used to the one-size-fits-all design concept of wester navies, but the russians didn't think that way. Akula is a sub killer, Kilo is a surface ship killer. Different boats, different missins. I doubt if a real life kilo would ever be successful against an akula in a best of three scenario.
