Both teams had a load of chances to win it in normal time with Bright Enobakhare forcing some fine saves from Bravo.
But a furious Guardiola blamed his side's battle of attrition on the ball - used in all Football League matches - and not a bad night at the office for the Premier League leaders.
City started Aguero and Gabriel Jesus but were held to 0-0 after 120 minutes.
And Guardiola said of the ball: "It is not acceptable, the ball was unacceptable for a high-level competition.
"It is too light, it moves all over the place, it is not a good ball.
"It is impossible to score with a ball like that and I say that because we won, I'm not making excuses.
"All of my players said: 'What is that?'
"I'm sorry Carabao Cup is not a serious ball for a serious competition.
