How to make a query that counts by comparing values?

I'm new to splunk and I'm asking for help. 
I will give an example as below. if event_id or orig_event are the same, count them I want to lookup event_id for case not 3.
Therefore, in this case, the count of event_id 7 is 2, not 3, so 7 should be the lookup.
could you possibly help me?

[data table]

index type event_id orig_event_id
A a 1  
A b   1
B c   1
A a 3  
A b   3
B c 3  
A a   5
A b 5  
B c   5
A a   7
A b 7  

 

[result]

A a   7
A b 7

Not sure if this is what you are after as your description does quite tally with your example

| stats count(eval(event_id == orig_event_id)) as count by index type

There were some mistakes in the content. It has only one value among orig_event_id and event_id.

Are you just after the last event_id and orig_event_id by index and type?

| stats last(event_id) as event_id last(orig_event_id) as orig_event_id by index type
