The England women's cricket team played the Pakistan women's cricket team in Malaysia in December 2019.[1][2] The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs), which formed part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship,[3][4] and three Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is).[5] All of the matches were played at the Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur.[6] Pakistan have played England eight times previously in WODI matches, without recording a win.[7] In WT20Is, the teams have faced each other ten times previously, with England winning nine of those matches.[8]

Pakistan had previously played a home series in Malaysia as part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship, against Australia, in October 2018.[9] Ahead of the tour, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that Bismah Maroof would continue as captain of the team for the matches.[10] Sana Mir, Pakistan's most capped player in women's cricket, announced that she had taken a break from international cricket, and missed the tour.[11]
England won the WODI series, after taking an unassailable lead with wins in the first two matches.[12] The final match finished as a no result due to rain, therefore England won the series 2–0.[13] England also won the first two WT20I matches to secure a series win.[14] England won the third and final match by 24 runs to win the series 3–0.[15]
