"Come up trumps" = Thành công ngoài mong đợi, dẫn đến kết quả tốt đẹp dù đang đối mặt với nhiều bất lợi/thách thức.

Ví dụ
With Santo's record against top teams and this Wolves' side's potential, it would be no surprise to see them come up trumps against this United side again and this price is well worth taking, with the insurance of getting your stake back in the event of a draw in 90 minutes.

"Everyone takes it very seriously and since the team began to sample success several years ago the enthusiasm has just mushroomed to an unbelievable extent. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that the team can come up trumps on Sunday although we recognise they will be playing very good opponents (đối thủ)."

Of concern, though, is the batting of the captain. His leadership thus far has been good, and field placements, bowling changes and his overall tactics as a captain has been commendable (đáng khen ngợi); however, as a batsman, more is expected. He has chosen to play the role of a senior lower-order batsman, meaning he needs to up the tempo if needed or settle in and build an innings where required. Playing this role, though, means he needs to get the team over the line. It's a challenge, but it's one he needs to face head on and come up trumps.
