Conditions:
This is the same Itachi that fought Sasuke

Countering Itachi's Non-Mangekyou Ninjutsu:
Itachi's main arsenal of Ninjutsu comprises of Katon and Exploding Clones. Which frankly, as I explain multiple times later in the thread, Rotation blocks these attacks.
Exploding Clones themselfs won't amount to much as a doujutsu was already able to see through them.

Even if they manage to close in on Hiashi, Kaiten saves him.
Now, It may be hard for Hiashi to keep up with Itachi's hand seals so that he can counter his Katon's, but the Byakugan is also capable of tracking high speed movement and seeing Itachi knead chakra, making the speed at which he can release the Katon useless.

Countering Itachi's Taijutsu/Weapons:
First of all, the Hyuuga are know for being the strongest Taijutsu users in the Leaf. The Databook also gives Hiashi a 5 in Taijutsu while Itachi only has a 4.5

Countering Itachi's Genjutsu:
Countering Ocular Genjutsu is actually very simple for Hyuuga's.

. To completely nullify the chances of Genjutsu, all a Hyuuga must do is close there eyes! The Byakugan will give them sight through their eyelids while negating the chances of eye-contact!------------------
Countering Mangekyou Jutsu's:
Since Itachi's base arsenal won't cut it against a Hyuuga of Hiashi's level, eventually he will be forced to use the Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye.
Due to his failing healthy and low stamina, Itachi perfers to fight without the use of these techs. We can even deduce how many times he can use the Mangekyou before his body fails him.
Tsukiyomi; 1 Use (

)From the above, we now know that Itachi can consistantly use the Mangekyou or many times in the same fight. It doesn't help that Tsukiyomi is already countered by a ability that costs no chakra or stamina to implement, but Hiashi still has counters for Amaterasu and Susano'O.
Amaterasu:
The Bykaugan has the ability to see chakra, the instance that proves this also shows that it can see when chakra is being directed to the eye and a Jutsu is being used!

with this knowledge, Hiashi can deduce when Itachi is going to use Amaterasu (Or Sharingan Genjutsu/Tsukiyomi for that matter)!
From there when the Jutsu is released, Hiashi can use the mechanics of Rotation to block the attack! When Hiashi sees Itachi pouring massive amounts of chakra into his eye and preps amaterasu, Hiashi can pour out of his Chakra points to stop the flame.

Then finish the Jutsu to deflect it!

Susano'O:
While Hiashi has no direct ways to break Susano'O, he has ways to wait it out and the intel feeding Byakugan to know to do it.
Given that Byakugan allows the user to see the targets chakra as proven previous, Hiashi will know that Itachi doesn't have large reserves of chakra. While countering Amaterasu and once Ssuano'O comes out, he will see the huge chunks of chakra coming out of Itachi's low stamina and will know that its best to allow Itachi to seal his own fate!
The only thing Hiashi needs do when Susano'O comes out is to Air Wall Palm to keep it at bay until Itachi runs out of chakra, I even found one in a calc that shows the direct comparison between the two!
