This is the only hand I can come up with that is remotely close to giving everyone some semblance of his bid. A club lead is required to catch the club tricks before 1 goes away on the heart.

your lead please

Fwiw I would not make this 2♥ bid at imps. I found in MP’s I was missing out on a lot of part scores. I have been more aggressive in my bidding, had some better results and far more enjoyable games. Oh and I liked my ♠, thinking rho had ♠A.
Here is the full hand. I was uncomfortable with any lead so chose the worst possible 3♥ taken with the Q♥ 4♠X+1
West North East South
- - - Pass
1♦ Pass 1♠ 2♥
2NT 3♥ 4♠ Pass
Pass Dbl Pass Pass
Pass

I knew it! West did not have a 2N bid and N did not have a 3♥ bid (altho closer to the mark than West).
Nor do I think that N had a double of 4♠

I like a diamond lead here.

Sound 3H bid...very interesting 2N bid.
Two obvious points here:
First, it's obvious that North has seen South's 2-level overcalls before.
Second, it is obvious that for west the 2N card was mixed in with the green cards and pulled accidentally.

Point #3: No wonder I can't win at matchpoints - I never know what anybody has.
