The match was scheduled to take place at the Korogi Athletic Park, where Bangladesh were due to face China in the morning quarter-final. Despite blue skies and sunshine in Nagoya, the ground remained unfit for play following several days of heavy rain.
With no play possible, Bangladesh progressed to the semi-finals by virtue of their higher ranking, in accordance with the Asian Games competition rules.
The result brought an abrupt end to China's return to Asian Games cricket. China were appearing in the women's competition for the first time in 12 years and had hoped to make an impact on their return.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, secured their place in the last four without having the opportunity to test themselves on the field. They will now face Pakistan in the semi-final.
The other quarter-final involving Pakistan and Thailand was also affected by the poor conditions. The start was delayed by 90 minutes as groundstaff worked to dry the outfield, while the match was eventually reduced to 11 overs per side.
Thailand, led by wicketkeeper-batter Nannapat Koncharoenkai's 49, posted 91 for four in their 11 overs. Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals in their chase but eventually reached 92 for seven with two balls remaining to seal a narrow three-wicket victory.
Heavy rain has been a major concern for the Asian Games in Nagoya, with record rainfall a week earlier causing flooding across parts of the city. Some Asian Games athletes were also evacuated from their accommodation because of the flooding.
The conditions at Korogi Athletic Park showed the lasting impact of the rainfall, with parts of the outfield still unable to recover in time for Thursday's matches.
