“As Zimbabweans we won’t forgive you… you once gave us that Fraud Pak Bean instead of Mr Bean Rowan (Atkinson),” tweeted a certain user Ngugi Chasura in reply to a post by the Pakistan team’s official account.

Chasura was referring to Pakistani entertainer Asif Muhammad, who goes by the stage name “Mr Pak Bean” to impersonate British actor-comedian Rowan Atkinson’s world-famous character.
