off-spin

Rightarm spin delivery

Off-spin is a type of bowling in cricket where a right-handed bowler imparts spin that causes the ball to turn from the off side toward the leg side when it bounces—that is, from left to right as the batsman sees it.

The bowler who delivers such balls is an off-spinner.

Compare leg-spin, which turns the opposite direction.
