Dead easy.
to win a cricket match you have to score the most runs AND bowl the other team out twice. Declarations count as all bowled out for this purpose.
So its possible that a team could have a 200 point lead from the first innings, then rattle up 400 more runs in the second ,but because they fail to bowl out the team in the second innings it would be classed as a draw.
The points awarded aren't equal though as batting and bowling bonus points are awarded for first innings performances.
If its in limited over cricket, then a draw results when both teams score exactly the same. wickets taken should count, in my mind, but don't

Cricket makes a clear distinction between a tie and a draw, which are two different possible results of a game.
A tie is the identical result that occurs when each team has scored the same number of runs after their allotted innings. This is very rare in Test cricket and has happened only twice in its long history, but they are slightly more commonplace in limited-overs matches.
A draw is the inconclusive result that occurs when the allotted playing time for the game expires without the teams having completed their innings. This is relatively common, occurring in 20-30% of Test matches. Limited-overs matches cannot be drawn, although they can end with a no result if abandoned because of weather or other factors.
Hope you can understand this.

When there is no result of the match in five days or when none side wins the games. As simple as that.

The match ends without all four innings being finished.
One match is five days, no more, no less.
