Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Zyra win this lane — your level 2 spike with Zyra's E root lets you freely stack rend and execute, and Jinx has no reliable escape from a rooted position.
Post-6, Lillia's R sleep is a serious threat to both of you simultaneously, so the 2v2 becomes more even; you retain the edge only if you can avoid the sleep and use your R on Zyra to reposition her out of danger.

Your best pattern is to bait Jinx into stepping up with auto harassment, have Zyra land E to root her, then dump all rend stacks with W while Zyra's plants deal damage — this two-second window is your kill window.
Avoid committing rend stacks without a root confirmation; Jinx's Zap (E) slow can interrupt your chase and waste your stacks.

Freeze the wave near your tower when possible — Jinx wants to push and poke with Q Fishbones, so denying her that by freezing forces her to walk up into Zyra's range to CS.
When the wave is frozen, Zyra can freely place seeds and threaten roots on any Jinx approach, creating a constant kill threat.

Do not let Lillia freely Q poke you down to a threshold where Jinx's R becomes a guaranteed kill — Lillia's sustained poke is easy to ignore early but compounds into a dangerous health deficit.
Track Lillia's position at all times; if she disappears from lane, assume she is flanking for an R sleep and back off immediately.
