Her leadership saw Nepal reach the final of the ACC Women’s tournament in 2007 and secure semi-final berths in the 2009 and 2011 ACC Women’s Twenty20 Championship. She also guided Nepal to consecutive ACC U-19 Women’s Championship titles in 2008 and 2010.

Thapa Magar was part of history when Nepal played their maiden WT20I match against China in 2019, clinching victory by 10 wickets.
Having represented Nepal since 2007, she continued her cricketing journey domestically with the Armed Police Force Club.
The Cricket Association of Nepal bid farewell to Thapa Magar, acknowledging her 17 years of dedicated service and her role in inspiring a new generation of cricketers.
