inswing

Inswing describes a cricket delivery that curves through the air toward the batsman, moving from the off side to the leg side for a right-handed batter.

The bowler achieves this movement by angling the seam and using wrist position to make the ball swing in during flight.

A bowler skilled at this technique is called an inswing bowler.

The term also applies in soccer to a corner kick or cross that curves toward the goal rather than away from it.
