The Bangladesh women's cricket team toured Pakistan in October and November 2019 to play Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series against the Pakistan women's cricket team. ^{[1] [2]} The three WODIs and the three WT20I matches were played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. ^[3] It was the first time that the Pakistan women's team played at the stadium. ^[4] The Bangladesh women's team had last toured Pakistan in September and October 2015. ^[5]

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) opted not to send their three support staff with Indian nationality, to avoid visa issues amid political tensions between India and Pakistan. ^[6] Less than two weeks from the start of the tour, the series was thrown into doubt, after the Bangladesh government had not yet given clearance for the team to travel. ^[7] However, on 21 October 2019, the BCB confirmed the squad for the tour. ^[8] The following day, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the itinerary for the tour. ^[9]

Pakistan won all three WT20I matches. ^{[10] [11]} In the WODI series that was drawn 1-1, Pakistan won the first match by 29 runs, ^[12] and Bangladesh the second by one wicket. ^[13]
