A Zimbabwe cricket fan is looking to 'settle score' after Pakistan sent them a 'fake Mr Bean'

'Actually crying after reading the Pak Bean thread man I love this hellsite and its unhinged stories,' a user shared

As the Pakistan cricket team faces Zimbabwe in a couple of hours, the Zimbabweans are looking to settle a score and not just on the field.

It all began when an apparent Twitter handle of a Zimbabwean claimed that they will 'settle the matter', all the while calling Pakistanis 'frauds'. "Just pray for the rains to save you," Ngugi Chasura tweeted. When a fan asked the reason behind his rage, he responded, "They gave us Pak Bean instead of Mr Bean on one of our local events called agriculture show."

As Zimbabweans we wont forgive you...you once gave us that Fraud Pak Bean instead of Mr Bean Rowan ..we will settle the matter tommorow just pray the rains will save you...#ZIMVSPAK

Puzzled, one tweep questioned what is 'Pak Bean'. Chasura then shared a picture of Muhammad Arif, who's famously known for his resemblance to British actor Rowan Atkinson. The international star is known for his famous portrayal of Mr. Bean. "Stealing people's money!" Chasura added.

Arif was invited to an event in Zimbabwe in 2016, where he attended a comedy night at the Harare International Conference Centre. In another tweet, we see Arif being given a hero's welcome, with many locals trying to click a picture with him.

If no one dresses up as Mr. Bean tomorrow at the stadium, would be a huge missed opportunity 👀

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by a fraudulent disguising as Mr Bean. We pakistanis are people with big heart. As a gesture of goodwill and to keep brotherly relationship alive between the two countries,I offer you Lionel Messi free of cost for your next event pic.twitter.com/6mkZcVlkmF

It's cold, wet and grey here in Melbourne, and we probably won't even have get Aus-Eng on tomorrow.
Meanwhile, there's a Mr Bean grudge match in Perth where it's 22 and sunny.
Who said that city was dull?
