After a heartbreaking defeat from the arch-rivals on Sunday, Pakistan is ready to take on Zimbabwe at the Optus Stadium, in Perth on 27th October. But, Indians are not the only arch-rivals Pakistan have it turns out Zimbabwe also has some deep history linked with the Pakistanis, where they were supposedly fooled by a fake Mr.Bean who looted their people.
The Story Behind Fake Mr. Bean and the New Rivalry
It all began when Pakistan Cricket’s official Twitter account shared photos of the players working hard ahead of the Zimbabwe clash. “Onto the next challenge,” PCB wrote. It was when a Zimbabwean fan, Ngugi Chasura, responded to PCB’s tweet saying that they have neither forgotten nor forgiven Pakistan for sending a fake Mr. Bean to Zimbabwe.

The Harare Agricultural Show
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that a man named Asif Muhammad did travel to Zimbabwe in 2016, he seems to have a striking resemblance with the original Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson. He attended a comedy night, did road shows, and participated in the Harare Agricultural Show. In the video shared below, “Mr. Pak Bean” can be seen facilitated by cops as fans block the road to get a glimpse of him. The fake Mr.Bean fiasco has taken the excitement of today’s game to another level as TapMad said; “Clearly, the stakes are higher than you thought. All the more reason to tune into Pakistan vs Zimbabwe tomorrow!”
