Teams winning the toss at this ground have elected to bowl first on both the occasions this season and we expect the trend to continue.
A full game is on the cards as there are no signs of rain on Wednesday. However, a little bit of cloud cover is expected with temperature fluctuating in the mid-20 degrees Celsius.
The Carrara Oval has hosted two games this BBL season and so far the pitch has looked good for batting. Bowlers will have to be accurate in their lines and lengths on this surface.

Mitchell Swepson has been called-up by the Australian national team for the Sydney test match against New Zealand. Brisbane Heat will probably bring in left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann as his replacement. Jack Prestwidge was brought into the side last time as Tom Banton had to sit out due to illness. The wicketkeeper-batsman will return for this New Year's clash if he manages to regain full fitness.
Chris Lynn: The explosive batsman struck his first half-century of the season in the last game against Sydney Sixers. His stunning 35-ball 94 powered Brisbane to a match-winning total of 209.
Matt Renshaw: He is the team's leading run-getter this BBL with 125 runs at an average of 62.50. The left-handed batsman is coming off an unbeaten 60 from 39 balls against the Sixers.
Ben Cutting: The Heat's middle-order batting depends heavily on him. He can add some quick runs with his power-hitting in the slog overs and can also be a handy option when it comes to bowling.
Brisbane Heat have won one and lost two of their first three fixtures and are currently placed sixth on the Big Bash League 09 points table. After losing to Sydney Thunder by 29 runs in their opening game at home, they suffered a 22-run loss against Melbourne Stars in their next game as well. The Heat, however, are coming on the back of a comprehensive 48-run win over Sydney Sixers in their last match.

Perth Scorchers brought in Matthew Kelly for the last game against Sydney Sixers in place of left-arm quick Joel Paris. Cameron Bancroft was promoted to number three with Ashton Turner pushed down the order. Liam Livingstone and Josh Inglis will continue to open the batting while Jhye Richardson will be leading the bowling attack. The Scorchers have no injury worries to deal with and they might go into this game with an unchanged line-up.
Mitchell Marsh: The skipper is among Perth's most consistent performers with the bat this season. Marsh had cracked an unbeaten fifty in the match against Melbourne Renegades at the Perth Stadium.
Liam Livingstone: He is having an impressive strike-rate of 188.67. The opener scored 69 runs against Adelaide Strikers last week at the Adelaide Oval and he will be expected to play another good knock.
Chris Jordan: With seven wickets in four matches at an acceptable economy of 8, Chris Jordan is among the tournament's top five bowlers. The pacer returned outstanding figures of 3-29 in the last match against Sydney Sixers.
Perth Scorchers seem to have carried their dismal form from last season where they finished at the bottom of the table. They are struggling once again and are positioned second from the bottom in the league standings with just one win and three defeats from four matches. After their win over Melbourne Renegades at home, the Scorchers have faced back-to-back losses - against Adelaide Strikers by 15 runs (DLS method) and Sydney Sixers by 48 runs.

There is going to be a lot more pressure on Perth Scorchers who have managed to win only one game out of the four they have played thus far. They do have a pretty good bowling attack but it is their batting that will need to come good on Wednesday if they are to challenge their opponent. Brisbane Heat are coming off a morale-boosting win over Sydney Sixers and have done well against the Scorchers in recent times. They did the double over them last season and we expect them to emerge victorious this time as well.
