Default Lookup function for a value that has multiple instances

The formula I gave you should be entered in ONE cell
(and validated with Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

Isnt it possible to have the results in one cell rather than displaying a
full column of a single result?

=INDEX($C$1:$C$6,MATCH(1,(A1:A6="Cherry")*(B1:B6=6 ),0))
This is an array formula, to be validated with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just
Enter.

I am working on a case that is of the following similar natu

Col A Col B Col C
Row 1 Apple 1 ABC
Row 2 Bananna 2 DEF
Row 3 Cherry 1 GHI
Row 4 Cherry 4 JKL
Row 5 Cherry 6 MNO
Row 6 Strawberry 3 PQR

I want to lookup the value in Col C that has "Cherry" in Col A and "6"
in
'Col C'. Ofcourse the answer is "MNO", but I am unable to accomplish
this
with VLOOKUP. Is there any alternative solution to this.

Thanks,
