Who Wins

Pre-6, you win this lane clearly — your range advantage over Twitch is significant, and Xerath's poke prevents Senna from safely trading or collecting souls, making it a controlled, favorable lane for your side.
Post-6, Twitch's R is a genuine threat if he closes distance, so you must respect his all-in potential and avoid letting him stack his passive uncontested near you.

Your best pattern is to use your longest-range weapon to poke Twitch and Senna from outside their effective trade range, forcing them to either take free damage or give up farm — never let Twitch walk up to auto-attack range without punishing him immediately.
When Twitch goes invisible, reposition away from his last known location rather than standing still, as his Q has a long duration and he will re-engage at full passive stacks.

Play to freeze or slow-push the wave toward your side of the lane to deny Twitch safe farm and keep him in Xerath's poke range — a frozen wave near your tower is extremely punishing for Twitch who has no reliable way to break the freeze without taking heavy damage.
Avoid hard-pushing unless you are looking to rotate, as a pushed wave gives Twitch and Senna a free reset and removes your positional advantage.

Do not stand still when Twitch uses his Q — immediately walk back and change your position because he will reappear with full passive stacks and Senna's CC chain ready, and if you are caught flat-footed at that moment, you will lose the trade or die.
Overcommitting to a trade when Twitch is invisible is the single most common way to throw this lane's natural advantage.
