Douglas, Tucker proving to be leaders of Bermuda's 'A Team'
The A-team, consisting of a handful of senior players and a group of talented youngsters, recorded two straight wins over the South Americans at the weekend.
In the opening game Douglas top scored with 79, while there were also half-centuries for Oronde Bascome and Fiqre Crockwell as Bermuda amassed 258 for 6.
Off-spinner Tucker then took four for 24 in ten overs as Argentina were knocked over for 122 to give the visitors a 136 run win.
Sunday's game was a much closer affair. The bowlers did their job with Tucker, this time taking 3 for 18 in nine overs, the star again as Argentina fell to 144 all-out.
Despite a solid start with Rodney Trott (22) and Bascome (38) putting on 65 for the third wicket, Bermuda A faltered in the run chase.
Ultimately it took the experience of Glenn Blakeney, who made 37 not out, to guide them home with just two wickets in hand.
The tour continues with another 50-over match today and a 20/20 match tomorrow.
Friday is a rest day before Gus Logie's men face a President's XI on Saturday and the Argentina side once again on Sunday.
The two teams are contesting the Baimax Cup five-match series.
Also up for grabs in the series are MVP, best batsman, best bowler and 'most promising cricketer for each side awards.
