Remarks: Since it is Matchpoint game, 7NT is bid instead of 7♠ after checking the keycards.
The lead is 4th best , (but in slams , lead could be neutral and may not be 4th best).
If ♠ break at least 3-1, or 2-2, there are 12 tricks -6♠ 2♥ 2♦ 2♣
13th trick can come from ♥ by finessing Q , dropping ♥ Q or by squeeze.
Since the contract is 7NT, there is no question of rectifying the count.
By playing ♠, discards are noted, West with ♦ Q as well as ♥ Q will make a discard useful to south.
