Unlike the two previous seasons where the Thunder played the Hobart Hurricanes, Jones' side took on Sydney rivals the Sixers - due to the travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19.
At the Raby Sports Complex, the action started on Thursday, November 13 and ran over two days - which also involved coaching clinics and numerous Indigenous ceremonies, including a Welcome to Country.
Jones' Thunder opened the three-game series in dominant fashion, defeating the Sixers by 41 runs (7-131 to 8-90), with the Worrigee product returning tidy figures of 0-1 with the ball.
The Thunder's charge continued game two when they outlasted their rivals 3-148 to 7-120, thanks to 2-17 from Jones.
The series was wrapped up on Friday when the Thunder posted 4-157 from their 20 overs before dismissing their opponents for 100.
During this fixture, Jones finished with 10 runs from 14 balls and 1-12 from his two overs.
