It is because of the air friction. To make a ball swing one side is shined up and made smooth while the other side is left to be scuffed by the pitch and what not. When the ball travells through the air the shined side goes faster as there is less air resistance this causes the ball to swing to a side.

Which ball plastic or cricket ball having same velocity will cover more distance?

A cricket ball will generally cover more distance than a plastic ball when both are thrown at the same velocity. This is due to the cricket ball's greater density and aerodynamic design, which allows it to maintain momentum and resist air drag more effectively. The heavier mass of the cricket ball contributes to its ability to travel farther compared to the lighter plastic ball, which can be more affected by air resistance.
