I'm going to say no
Without more detail, the answer is entirely up to you: it's believable either way. But let's run with the idea.
Planetary rings aren't as dense as Hollywood shows. Light passes through them, just less light. You also have a low axial tilt, which means you won't see the shadow like you do on that Saturn picture. Saturn has a significant axial tilt (almost 27°). Someone has photoshoped the image in your link to make the rings entirely horizontal, but that's not in alignment with the sun — so the image is leading you a bit astray.
With a low axial tilt (and, thus, minimal seasons) your shadow will be much, much closer to the equator. Your rings would need to be enormous to cast a significantly wide shadow. But let's ignore ring width.
Let's say "Earth-like" means "our solar system, but Earth has rings."
OK, would you get a band of freezing weather under the shadow?
Probably not
I say this because the shadow is at the equator and the heated air around it will interact with the colder air in the shadow. Weather is a LOT more complex than this, but generally speaking, areas of high heat have low pressure zones from gas expansion and hot air rising into the upper atmosphere and areas of cold air have high pressure zones due to gas contraction and air settling near the surface. The result is that the air would mix and there's a lot more hot air than there is cold air due to the shadow.
So what you would get is a greater chance for storms along the edges of the shadow. But a freezing equatorial zone? My vote is no. The odds are pretty good you'd only see a 15°-20° maximum temperature variation below the equatorial daytime average of 31 °C (88 °F). Cooler, maybe even considered cold by the inhabitants. But hardly freezing.
Please keep something in mind. I'm not a fan of "as real as possible." That's a great goal for documentaries. It's only a useful guideline for good fiction. There's enough ambiguity in this situation that you could believably claim to have a freezing zone at the heart of the shadow that gradually warms toward the edges where you'll find storms. That would be a great idea for a world! So don't let my answer fool you into believing you need to throw your idea away.
