The forces are in opposite direction and equal in magnitude.
The net force on the string becomes zero and no thereby no team wins.

Equal and opposite forces.
Explanation:
In a tug of war, when the two teams are pulling the rope, a stage comes when the rope does not move to either side at all. This happens when there the force exerted by the opposite teams are equal. So the force acting on the midpoint of the rope is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. So they balance each other out.
