Only two teams – Malaysia and United Arab Emirates – were able to play more than one match, and the match between those two teams was also reduced to 5 overs. One of the semi-finals was also rained out, meaning that Bangladesh A and Pakistan A were the only other teams that had played more than one match going into the final. India A won the tournament after defeating Bangladesh A by 31 runs in the final.[7]
