Here is your hand:

♠T86
♥53
♦KT832
♣QJ2

Playing matchpoints you are not vulnerable. Your Partner is Dealer and open the bidding 1♥. The RHO says "Pass".

What is your call?

1NT. This shows 6 to 10 HCP without three ♥ and without four ♠.

Do not bid 2♦. That shows at least 10 HCP. Partner might get excited!
