Bidding Over 2NT

Here is your hand:

♠96432
♥KT2
♦764
♣K7

Playing matchpoints and on one is vulnerable. Partner opens the bidding 2NT showing 20 or 21 HCP. The Opponents remain silent. You and your Partner have agreed to play Stayman and Jacoby Transfers so you bid 3♥. Partner dutifully bids 3♠. What is your call.

How about 3NT?

You do have enough for a game. Partner has at least 20 HCP and you have two Kings. But you DON'T KNOW if you have a ♠ fit. By transferring you have shown five ♠. Partner can always bid 4♠ if they have a fit.

Partner "Passes". They only have two ♠ and you got to the right contract.
