Using "twin" as a verb, you should use "has twinned" in this sentence because Team Stewart is singular and particularly singular in this case. , we don't use collective nouns as frequently as the British do, so I am including that additional piece of information to my answer. I tend to consider "collective" nouns as singular if there is no clear indication that it is not.
