Who Wins

Pre-6, Zyra's root range and plant pressure combined with Kai'Sa's burst means you and Yunara lose most extended trades — your bubble is your only reliable CC and Zyra's root is easier to land than your Q, giving them the CC advantage in short windows.
Post-6, your R knockup into Yunara's R activation is a near-guaranteed kill setup on Kai'Sa if you land it, as the chain of knockup, laser slow, and sustained on-hit damage leaves no escape route.

Use your E on Yunara before she activates R to give her empowered autos during the stacking phase, then save your Q bubble for Kai'Sa when she tries to disengage from Yunara's R — the goal is to prevent Kai'Sa from walking out of the 15-second window.
Your W heal should be used reactively to sustain Yunara through Zyra's poke rather than proactively, since Zyra will try to drain your mana by forcing you to heal chip damage.

You should not roam in this matchup — Yunara is immobile pre-6 and leaving her alone against Kai'Sa and Zyra results in a free kill for the enemy.
Your presence is mandatory to peel Zyra roots off Yunara and to provide the CC chain that makes Yunara's R lethal.

Do not miss your Q bubble trying to hit Kai'Sa through Zyra's plants — the plants block skillshots and Zyra will intentionally position them to deny your CC angles.
Wait for Kai'Sa to overextend or for Zyra to misposition before committing your bubble, as a missed Q in this matchup removes your only hard CC and leaves Yunara completely exposed to Zyra's root.
