The Pakistan women's cricket team toured South Africa to play against the South Africa women's cricket team in January and February 2021. The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and three Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is). Originally, some of the fixtures were scheduled to be played at the City Oval in Pietermaritzburg. However, on 10 January 2021, Cricket South Africa updated the tour itinerary with all the matches being played at the Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban.
Ahead of the series, Pakistan's captain Bismah Maroof withdrew from the tour due to family reasons. Javeria Khan was named as Pakistan's captain in her absence. South Africa's captain, Dane van Niekerk, was also ruled out of the series while she recovered from a back injury. Suné Luus was named as South Africa's captain in place of van Niekerk.
