Suffolk batsman Freddie Klokker has said his side need three victories from their last four matches to clinch the Minor Counties East title.

The 27-year-old scored an impressive 62 in during Suffolk's 50-run win over Cambridgeshire at Bury St Edmunds.

He told BBC Radio Suffolk: "We can't afford any slip-ups if we want to go top. We're definitely capable of it."

Chasing 213 for victory, the visitors were restricted to 162, thanks to a Tom Huggins' five-wicket haul.

Suffolk are next in action against Staffordshire in Ipswich on 4 July, and are hopeful of having former Essex bowler Tony Palladino available.

We've got a brilliant outfit and we'll take on anyone Suffolk batsman Freddie Klokker

"We would be the side to beat if that were the case," added Klokker.

"We've got a brilliant outfit and we'll take on anyone."

After two matches, Suffolk sit top of the Minor Counties Eastern Division on 30 points, six ahead of Bedfordshire.

Suffolk 139 (Klokker 62no, Lomas 15, Akthar 5-40) and 244 Cambridgeshire 171 and 162.
