Bowling is an indoor sport that has gained popularity in Pakistan among various age groups. The sport is played by teenagers and adults alike. Even children have their special sized bowling alleys to suit their size. It is none the less an enjoyable sport, once you get a hang of rolling the heavy ball across the alley and straight at the set of pins at the end of the lane. The aim is usually to get the ball as close to the mark as possible. The most common types of bowling played are ten-pin, nine-pin, candle pin, duckpin and five pin bowling.
