With the match canceled, Pakistan exited the tournament without securing a single victory.
Among the eight teams in the tournament, batters from all other seven teams managed to score at least one century, while no Pakistani player reached the milestone. From Group A, India and New Zealand qualified for the semi-finals, while Pakistan not only got knocked out but also finished last in the group due to a poor net run rate. Bangladesh, with a relatively better net run rate, secured the third position in the group.
