Persistent monsoon rains caused the fifth match abandonment at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium, with Pakistan finishing winless and Sri Lanka ending with five points.
- In Colombo, the Sri Lanka–Pakistan finale was called off due to rain, marking the fifth no-result out of 11 matches at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.

- Pakistan finished the tournament winless with three points from washouts, while Sri Lanka bowed out with five points after one victory.
- Captains including Sophie Devine warned that over 4.2 overs of campaigns were washed out, with Fatima Sana urging the ICC to find better venues after just 4.2 overs in Colombo.
