Ok I don’t know who would win, but it seems like the tyranids have the advantage. Even so I not sure a tyranid victory would matter to the orks, in fact it seems like the tyranids would end up handing the Galaxy to the orks. Because of how the Orks are being defeated by the tyranids is not as dangerous to their race as a whole.

Lets say the Tyranids beat the orks and all the other races, and make a clean sweep through the galaxy, attacking and devouring every single world (which is unlikely). Then once they have left in search of a new galaxy to make boring, you would have at least a few of the thousands of ork ships bouncing around in the warp find their way back to real space. Now the funny thing about ork reproduction is it is capable of making food, atmosphere, and servants for the orks, to the point that asteroids have been found with random orks living on them. This means the Orks are likely to be able to repopulate a galaxy, even one that the tyranids have made entirely shitty to live in.
