How come having more or less batsmen out doesn't count for anything?

I was wondering the same, as I snuck looks at my phone under the dining table to keep up with the score (stupid of me to book a family meal out without checking when the final was being played <doh>).
My assumption was that the fewest wickets lost would give the result to NZ.

As usual I wanted New Zealand to win but the writing was on the wall with that last over. First Boult falling over the boundary to give Stokes 6 then the ball striking Stokes from a throw
 
Well, my joy is now slightly tempered by the decision of someone in the area to celebrate with some very loud fireworks. My dog just pissed himself with terror in the front room.
