The Zimbabwean president tweeted moments after Zimbabwe stunned Pakistan by a run in the T20 World Cup Super 12 match in Perth in response to a fake Mr Bean incident from 2016 when a Pakistani comedian Asif Muhammad tried to fool the residents of Harare by enacting British actor Rowan Atkinson’s famous character Mr Bean.

“What a win for Zimbabwe! Congratulations to the Chevrons. Next time, send the real Mr Bean…#PakvsZim,” Mnangagwa tweeted.

In response, the Pakistan prime minister warned the Zimbabwe leader that his cricket team has a funny habit of bouncing back.

“We may not have the real Mr Bean, but we have real cricketing spirit .. and we Pakistanis have a funny habit of bouncing back:) Mr President: Congratulations. Your team played really well today,” the Pakistan Prime Minister wrote accompanied by a clap emoticon.

The incident from 2016 came to light hours before the Zimbabwe vs Pakistan match when a tweet from a user named Ngugi Chasura, while replying to a post by Pakistan Cricket Board, mentioned that people of Zimbabwe will never forgive the Asian nation for sending fraud Pak Bean. The tweet soon went viral online and was followed by a clip of the incident where Asif could be seen acting as Mr Bean.

“As Zimbabweans, we won’t forgive you…you once gave us that Fraud Pak Bean instead of Mr Bean Rowan ..we will settle the matter tomorrow just pray the rains will save you…#ZIMVSPAK.”
