@Girish_123  you can use a measure like this

 

Measure =
VAR _0 =
    UNION (
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "c1", 'Table'[column1] ),
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "c1", 'Table'[column2] )
    )
RETURN
    MAXX (
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            'Table 2',
            "freq",
                MAXX (
                    FILTER (
                        ADDCOLUMNS (
                            _0,
                            "Frequency", COUNTX ( FILTER ( _0, EARLIER ( [c1] ) = [c1] ), [c1] )
                        ),
                        [c1] = EARLIER ( 'Table 2'[column1] )
                    ),
                    [Frequency]
                )
        ),
        [freq]
    )

Define a new table Teams as follows:

 

Teams =
DISTINCT ( UNION ( VALUES ( Table1[Team 1] ), VALUES ( Table1[Team 2] ) ) )

 

 

Then set up relationships with both Team 1 and Team 2 columns in the model:

You can count both columns like this:

 

Count =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( Table1[Team 1] ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( Teams[Team], Table1[Team 1] )
)
    + CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Table1[Team 2] ),
        USERELATIONSHIP ( Teams[Team], Table1[Team 2] )
    )

You can do it without setting up the relationships too:

 

Count =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( Table1[Team 1] ),
    Table1[Team 1] IN VALUES ( Teams[Team] )
)
    + CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Table1[Team 2] ),
        Table1[Team 2] IN VALUES ( Teams[Team] )
    )
