Zambia's Chipolopolo went into the game having already booked their place in the knockout stages of the 2016 CHAN.
The Eagles of Mali were looking for either a victory or draw in order to advance to the knockout stages of the continental competition.
The first shot at goal went to Eagles full-back Lassana Samake just three minutes into the game, but his effort sailed wide of the target.
Zambia goalkeeper Jacob Banda was called into action eight minutes later when he gathered Diarra Sekou's attempt from a free-kick.
In the 13th minute, Christopher Munthali connected with Zambia captain Christopher Katongo's corner-kick, but Mali cleared the ball away.
The first shot on target finally came in the 28th minute when Mali midfielder Aliou Dieng unleashed a powerful shot from range and Banda made a great save.
The Eagles of Mali continued to try their luck from range. In the 36th minute, Lassana Samake's thunderous low shot from range was parried away by Banda.
Chipolopolo launched a few attacks towards the break. Mali defender Assoko Marius received the first booking after fouling Spencer Sautu seven minutes before the interval.
A quiet second-half followed as the two teams struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities and they could not maintain possession in the final third.
In the 66th minute Zambia, who had no shot on target, decided to pull out Solomon Sakala for Buchiza Mfune as they looked to test Mali keeper Djigui Diarra.
Mali's targetman Hamidou Sinayoko turned and unleashed a shot from just inside the Zambia area ten minutes later, and it sailed wide of the target.
Nevertheless, Mali and Zambia drew 0-0 and the two teams shared the spoils. Both nations advanced to the knockout stages.
Group D winners Zambia will take on Group C runners-up Guinea, while Group D runners-up Mali clash with Group C winners Tunisia in the quarterfinals.
The matches will be played this weekend.
