The Pakistan women's national cricket team toured New Zealand and Australia in January and February 1997. They played New Zealand in two One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Australia in a single ODI, losing all three matches. The matches were the first ever played by a Pakistan women's national team, with a side put together by sisters Shaiza and Sharmeen Khan against strong opposition from groups within Pakistan. The team needed to play the three international matches on the tour to qualify for the 1997 World Cup.
