Playing matchpoints. You are vulnerable and the Opponents are not vulnerable.
Here is your hand:
♠T2
♥Q8
♦AKQJ75
♣AT9
You are Dealer. What is your call?

I think 1♦ is the best call.
You do have 16 HCP (High Card Points) but you are not totally balanced. You have two doubletons.
Plus both those doubletons are weak with no stoppers in them.
Now sometimes we are stuck and have to open the bidding 1NT with two doubletons. But only if we are stuck for a rebid. You are not.
Open 1♦ and you have a good rebid to show your hand.
Just what is this rebid? Stay tuned and find out! (I love these cliffhangers!)
