Over the last few years, Zimbabwe has been playing Pakistan a bit too frequently. As a reason, fans usually mock Pakistan for bashing the minnows and stamping their authority over them. Let me tell you what, Zimbabwe isn’t a minnow by any means. They’re serious underdogs and punch above their weight when they’re up against their new arch-rivals.
Their rivalry took a new turn recently when one of the Zimbabwe fans expressed how he was cheated by Pakistan with a fake Mr. Bean called ‘Pak Bean’ for their show. He wanted revenge and boy his team has delivered! Zimbabwe beat Pakistan by 1-run in an extraordinary display of skill and patience today. Twitter was flooded with Memes and we’ve picked some of the best ones for you.
What a win for Zimbabwe! Congratulations to the Chevrons.
Next time, send the real Mr Bean…#PakvsZim 🇿🇼

Zimbabwe beat Pakistan 🙌🏽
And do not call this an upset. It'd be disrespectful to @ZimCricketv who've played so well and deserve all the respect and praise. Pic unrelated 😛 #PAKvZIM #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/RDxKasz05p— Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) October 27, 2022

No way Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe only to show how valuable are Babar Azam's runs against them.

This victory means so much to Zimbabwe Cricket and their fans. They lack resources and at times, don’t even have sufficient budget to provide kits to their players. All the potential goes begging. ICC should provide associate and so-called minnow teams more assistance, it’ll only do good for the game. Hope the ‘World Cup of Upsets’ has more thrillers in store for us. Until next time, adieu!
