Saha was brought in to hold ground when SRH made three changes and knocked out England hitter-guard Jonny Bairstow, who gave way to Kane Williamson.
Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer won the draw and invited SRH to bat at Dubai International Stadium.
Saha and Warner set the tone early with some exquisite takes. The opening pair achieved a 100-run stoppage in the 10th.
Ravichandran Ashwin provided Delhi with the first breakthrough by beating Warner.
Saha looked ready for a hundred, but in an attempt to speed up he gave one to Shreyas Iyer and was out for 87.
A Manish Pandey cameo then propelled SRH to a whopping 219 for two of his 20 assigned overs.
In response, the Delhi Capitals lost Shikhar Dhawan to a duck when a Sandeep Sharma shot got it wrong.
Promoted
Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer were dispatched to order to increase the score rate, but were unable to continue.
Rishabh Pant scored on a 36 hit as Delhi was eliminated by 131 in 19 overs.
