Partially yes. Malphite is very weak agains mages and generally magic damage dealers since there is not that good itemiziation for Malphite in magic resist. With season 3 there are few items that could fit in but the best item for that purpose at this time is abyssall scepter. There is no item that gives you more AP-Magic Resist at once.

Also Akali is very mobile and bursty so Malphite can't catch her. Only good thing Malphite has vs Akali is ground slam when she goes into smoke but it wont stop her from hiding.

The best way would be to play defensive and not get caught.
