Decent match, with a very exciting finish! Couldn't have been any better.
As a cricket newbie, can someone explain why if one team is all out and one team, is not all out, why is that a draw?
Scores after 50 overs were equal, but one team still had players left, when the other had no one left.
That to me, means team with people left has done better.

Why's that. If you play cricket you know the rules.
Ben Stokes just said in an interview that even he didn't know that rule!
Super overs are common in the IPL, so that is wierd.
edit:
Has even happend in international T20 games involving England before.

That's like asking if a football match is drawn, but one side had a man sent off, why didn't they lose.
They'd know the rule about the super over in the event of a tie but I bet you very few if any of them knew if the super over was a tie it went back to boundaries in the 50 overs.
Perhaps they should then.
Maybe loosing a player should equal loosing a goal or two, perhaps that would stop some of the professional fouls.

Why was you hoping NZ would win it?Unlucky NZ . Was hoping they would win it but not to be.
But well done to England.
