Sita Rana Magar
[2] In 2018, Magar played for the championship-winning Armed Police Force (APF) team in that year's Prime Minister Cup Women's National Tournament.[21] In the final of the next PM Cup Women's tournament, held on 26 December 2021, she again captained the APF team, this time to victory by 7 wickets.[25] Two days later, in the team's gripping second match, against Malaysia, she was the not out batter when Nepal lost its tenth wicket with the scores tied.[26] The Nepali players then achieved a shock seven wicket victory over Hong Kong to secure a place for Nepal in the final,[27] in which their team finished as runner-up to Bangladesh.[3] Only after about three years playing in international matches, and in particular as a member of Nepal's back-to-back ACC U-19 Women's Championship-winning teams in 2008[29] and 2010,[30] did she start taking cricket more seriously.[33] In Magar's and the team's next tournament, the 2013 ACC Women's Championship, held in January 2013 in a 25-overs a side format in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, Magar top scored with 46 in 48 balls against the United Arab Emirates,[34] the highest score yet for Nepal's women in an international match.[37] In February 2014, Magar played in the 40-over a side 2014 ACC Women's Premier tournament in Chiang Mai, Thailand.[35] A report of the match praised Magar's "impressive timing and placement" while batting, and described her as "... the classiest batter in the Nepali side and ... very strong on the leg-side.[44] Magar has since said that an additional effect of the suspension was weak management of cricket in Nepal, including communication problems.[45] After losing all of its other matches, and finishing last, in that tournament,[46] Nepal did not participate in the next Asia Cup, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in June 2018.Although that was the highest individual score yet recorded for Nepal in a WT20I,[50] Magar was pipped for player of the match by her captain, Rubina Chhetry, who took 4/2 during Indonesia's innings.[63] The following week, Magar was player of the tournament in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier, held in the United Arab Emirates.[68] In the first half of May 2022, Magar played seven matches for the tournament-winning Tornadoes team at the privately run 2022 FairBreak Invitational T20 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[1] While preparing for the final of that tournament, Magar found out, from a media report, that she had been replaced as vice captain of the Nepal team.
