Coca-Cola Ads faces criticism, people threatening to boycott actors
The mass of the country has called for a boycott of soft drink brand Coca-Cola in Bangladesh in line with the rest of the world over the Palestinian-Israeli issue. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion and criticism in social media about an advertisement of this soft drink in Bangladesh.
Actor Sharaf Ahmed Jibon, Shimul Sharma, Abdullah Al Sentu and others performed as models are in the advertisement.
Netizens have threatened to boycott Coca-Cola as well as boycott the actors. Starting from different groups, many people have called for boycott by posting on their Facebook ID.
Actor Shimul Sharma said, 'There is a propaganda information about Coke in Bangladesh. If a product is wrapped in a religious wrapper, then something has to be done. Everyone can make statements from their own place. Coca-Cola made the ad from there.'
Meanwhile, Sharaf Ahmed Jibon and Shimul Sharma are seen in the advertisement, many people think that Kajol Arefin Omi has made this advertisement. As a result, many people are commenting on this producer. But Ami told a different story.
Omi himself stated on Facebook, 'I have never made advertisements, I have worked to make dramas, web films, web series, I will make movies in the future.'
Easy equation for Bangladesh to confirm Super Eight
The ongoing T20 World Cup going very well for Bangladesh. Bangladesh already tasted one defeat against one win after playing two matches. The Tigers still have two matches left in Group D on the world stage. If they win these two matches, the red-green representatives will play the second round of T20 World Cup for the second time.
After beating Sri Lanka by 2 wickets in the first match of this World Cup, Tigers lost by 4 runs against the Proteas. Therefore, Chandika Hathurusingha's disciples are still very well in the race of Super Eight. On the other hand, South Africa first confirmed the Super Eight from this group with three consecutive wins.
The other teams in the group will fight for the remaining one place. Bangladesh and the Dutch are doing well in this race.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh has an easy equation to reach the Super Eight. As the Proteas won the match between Sri Lanka and South Africa and Bangladesh's match with these two teams already ended, the Tigers will go directly to the Super Eight if they beat Nepal and Netherlands in the remaining two matches in the group stage. However, if they lose in any match, they will have to rely on Shanto-Shakib's equation.
If for some reason Bangladesh lose one of their matches and Sri Lanka win their remaining two matches, then the red-green representatives will have to look at the net run rate. Bangladesh is in a good position from that point of view.
But surely Chandika Hathurusingha's team will not want to fall into the battle of the equation. The Tigers will want to secure a place in the Super Eight as the second team in Group-D by winning the last two matches.
If Bangladesh confirm the Super Eight, who will be the opponent
Bangladesh won the first match of the ongoing T20 World Cup against Sri Lanka, but got the bitter taste of defeat against South Africa. As a result, the equation of Super Eight in the World Cup has become very difficult for Bangladesh. But nothing is impossible for the Tigers.
South Africa has confirmed the Super Eight first by winning three consecutive matches from Group 'D'. In the group seeding, they will go from 'D' to Super Eight as champions. And if Bangladesh goes to Super Eight from group 'D', then they will go as runners-up. The group of Super Eight will be decided according to the pre-scheduled seeding like the last two editions.
Bangladesh also have two matches left in the group stage. Where the opponent is the Netherlands on May 13 and Nepal on May 17. Bangladesh will be confirmed in Super Eight if he wins these two matches.
And if Bangladesh win one and lose one, then threre will be a equation on the run rate. So Bangladesh surely want to ensure the next round as the second team of Group D by winning both match.
Shakib snatched journalist's phone and gave it to police, says eyewitness
Shakib Al Hasan was out badly against South Africa. He also failed in the previous match. However, after the defeat against the Proteas, the Tiger all-rounder snatched the journalist's phone from the front of the team bus and handed it over to the police. There is a storm of criticism in social media.
However, an eyewitness journalist explained the incident. In a video, he said that when the team was boarding the team bus after the South Africa match, his wife and three children came there to meet Shakib. Because, from there, the Tigers will go directly to the West Indies at the airport.
Shakib requested the journalists present there not to take any video or picture so that his personal moment with the family does not come through social media. But after a while, looking at a journalist, Shakib said, 'Are you taking pictures?" I can see your phone.'
Shakib's time is not going well in 22 yards recently. He has not been able to take any wicket in the World Cup so far. Apart from this, he isn't doing well with the bat. So all in all, the country's best cricketer is under a lot of mental pressure.
Argentina to enter the field early in the morning

However, Scaloni plans to play the captain from the start in the last warm-up match. Not only that, the Argentine coach hopes that Messi will play the whole of the last preparation match against Guatemala before entering the fight for excellence in Latin America.
