I actually think Haku can take Asuma, here's why:
1. Haku matches Asuma's speed and has enough taijutsu skill to hold his own for a little bit, and if he can get a hold of Asuma he can use Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death using 1 hand for handseals.
2. Haku's intelligence is on par with Asuma's, which this is also according to the databooks, so Asuma won't be outsmarting Haku.
3. I don't see how Asuma can escape the Ice Mirrors, his Burning Ash wouldn't work because it's elementally overpowered and the Fire Ball Jutsu had no effect. Fire elemental jutsu really have no effect overall. Dust Cloud may actually destroy a mirror, but Asuma wouldn't be able to jump out and escape because of the barrage of senbons and possible Water Needles, letting Haku simply create a new mirror and leaving Asuma even more injured. If you say that Asuma could use Dust Cloud to destroy all the mirrors, you're wrong because there are 21 mirrors, you think Asuma has all the chakra to do that? Plus Haku can guard the mirror by using Ice Release: Ice Dome.
4. Asuma doesn't have that Thousand Hand Strike move because it's non cannon for him so he doesn't have the enhanced defence to block the senbon.
So overall, I don't think Asuma can keep up with Haku while in the mirrors, as it's said he travels close to the speed of light in them, and that only a user with Sharingan or enhanced vision can track his movements, which Asuma doesn't have.
Thoughts?
Oh no sorry wrong section, MODS please move this
