The couple, who got married in 2010, had confirmed the pregnancy news in April this year.
Mirza, who took a break to have her baby, is aiming to be back on the court for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The 31-year-old, who became the first Indian to win a WTA tournament singles title in 2005, has said the baby's surname would be Mirza-Malik.
All-rounder Malik, 36, has been Pakistan's key player in the limited-overs format after he retired from Test cricket in 2015.
