Mei is strong offensively (kekkeigenkai and whatnot) and seemingly decent on the defensive, but given Yagura's mirror technique, which can counter a rasengan, her attacks would be repelled, meaning her longrange can be partially neutralized. In close quarters Yagura would own her, his coral palm immobilizing her and making her all the easier to finish off. And it would go even faster when he transformed into Isobu fully. One tailed beast ball and she'd be out.

if Mei had Chojuro she would be stronger in close quarters, but that's practically all I'm afraid.

The problem with this showdown is that we haven't seen enough of several of these characters' abilities to really make a valid verdict.

anyone with two kekkai genkai are by definition extremely powerful her lava release would counter his water release remember lava release has fire in it this alone would mean that his mirror technique wouldn't work

not to mention her mist would slow him down remember she was capable of battling madara even though the other kage were present it doesn't matter she still battled someone that was a lot more powerful than him

and you got to remember not all bijuu are equal and mei having two kekkai genkai and being able to use both in continuity means she would have to have a lot of chakra her power is great enough to counter wood release and also she able to single handedly counter a powerful Fire Release technique from Madara

she could use her Hiding in mist technique to obscure her presence

she is also equally powerful with water release capable of doing things with water release that yagura was never shown to be able to do her water release is powerful enough that in naruto the last movie she protected her entire village from a bombardment of meteors

more over something that proves she could defeat yagura is that her boil release is capable of melting through the ultimate defense of the susanoo which is tailed beast level meaning her boil release is as strong as a tailed beast
